yes, you are correct

 yes we can use by in place of on in the case given .

the preposition by shows the period of time assigned for a particular work and here the subject ram has to return on given time monday so both will be correct here.

additional : we can also use till or until here.

no they are different
on Monday means definitely on Monday
and by Monday means any day from today until Monday

no,actually these words are different......because on monday means like on that day but by monday means anyday before monday...it is totally different...I COMPLETELY AGREE with tejpreets....

 Yes, it will be grammarically correct but the meaning of the 2 sentences will be different.

Ram will return on monday- He will  return on monday without fail.

Ram will return by monday- He'll return anytime before monday. (Here the date is not fixed)

 

Hope it helps
