1. I would look in on Mr Bob on my way to the office every Monday.

Yes, this is fine – "to look in on" means "to pay a brief visit to".

Best wishes,

Thank you.

. I would come by Mr Bob on my way to the office every Monday.

Can I replace the phrase `look in on' with `come by' in this context, because the `come by' also has the meaning of brief visit.

No, because 'come by' is only used in relation to places and not people. You could come by Mr Bob's office.
