by Sunday vs by this Sunday

Both "by Sunday" and "by this Sunday" are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "By Sunday" refers to any upcoming Sunday, while "by this Sunday" specifies the upcoming Sunday in the current week. The choice between them depends on whether you want to refer to the next Sunday in general or the specific Sunday of the current week.
