Vs.

Answer
You would not say “walk past by”, just “walk past”. This means to encounter something on the way while walking and then keep going away from it. “Pass by” has pretty much the same meaning but could refer to other means of travel- you could pass something by while running, driving, riding in a train or boat, etc. It also means to encounter something along a path and then keep going (but not necessarily by walking).
