A: A witness is referring to someone who saw or heard something happen, or in the court of law, someone who can attest in some way to something.

A bystander is someone who was simply around for someone, like a background character in a movie. Or sometimes more specifically, someone who was around when something happened and didn't do anything about it.

Example:
"The bystanders watched the bully mock the younger boy."

"The man killed 3 innocent bystanders when he robbed the bank."

"The witness noticed what the man's license number plate was before he ran away."

"I think he paid all the witnesses not to say anything."

A: A by-stander was standing by the place where something happened, they may or may not have witnessed a situation/accident, despite being there. A witness actually saw and/or heard what happened. In the legal terms a by-stander may be a person who knew about an illegal/harmful thing happening but has not intervened.

A by-stander can also be a person just present at an event but not taking part, for example, if protesters gathered in a public place, the people who were around at the same time but doing something else or just watching would be called by-standers

A: They are basically interchangeable, the only difference I can think of is that eyewitness is used more by police, news, investigators, etc. Essentially it’s a more complex version of witness. That doesn’t mean it’s more polite though, not that the words were impolite to begin with.

A: To 'be a witness to a murder' would be someone who saw the murder take place.
