"She is come by herself" or "She has come by herself" ??
She is come by herself.
She has come by herself.
She came by herself.
She is came by herself.
She has came by herself.
Are they all correct? Do they mean the same thing?

"Come" is an irregular verb (come/came/come). The past participle of "come" is also "come" and so 5 must be wrong. 3 is the correct simple past form.
Sentence 1 has the correct form for the present simple passive. However, "come" is intransitive (it doesn't take a direct object) and so it cannot have any passive forms. So 1 is meaningless and wrong.
4 does not correspond with any English verb form.
In English, the auxiliary verb forms for the present perfect tense come from "to have". In Italian, there are "to have" and "to be". So 2 is correct.
I recommend studying the basic grammar of English tenses in a book like Murphy's "English Grammar in Use".

She is come by herself - incorrect
She has come by herself - correct
She came by herself - correct
She is came by herself - incorrect
She has came by herself - incorrect
The 2 correct ones are similar but "She came by herself" could be used when talking about an event that has finished or is still happening but "She has come by herself" could only be used for an event that is still taking place.

Only the second and third sentences are correct. The other three are wrong.

She came and she has come are correct. The rest are wrong.
She has come means is here alone and she is still at the event
She came alone means the same but we would probably use it after the event
