No... It is a completely different equine identifying color.
A chestnut horse is a horse whose coat is basically red. Varies from a pale golden color to a rich, red gold. The mane and tail are normally the same color as the body, but may be lighter or darker than the body. If the mane and tail are lighter in color than the body, the horse is referred to as having a flaxen mane and tail. Sorrel is the what a "chestnut" quarter horse is referred to as.
On a black horse, all hairs are black, although white markings may be found on the face and lower legs. A black horse has black eyes, hooves, and skin. If there are tan or brown hairs on the muzzle or flank, the horse would be referred to as a seal brown.

How do you distinguish a brown horse from a bay horse of similar body?
It depends what you mean by "brown." A bay horse can come in just normal bay or dark bay. As obvious in the name, dark bay is the really dark brown, and bay is lighter, but over all chestnut is the lightest colour of brown. So, without confusing you (more than you probably already are :-P) you can tell the difference by how light the horse is. If the brown is really light then it is clearly a chestnut. If you search on Google Images, "Bay horse", "Dark bay horse" and "chestnut horse" you will be able to see how the different colours vary. But over all, try to remember that really light- Chestnut, Darker- Bay and really dark- Dark bay. Sorry if I confused you but I hope I helped =)

Do you know what a small hard bump about an inch big located at the back the horse's leg just above the knee and its causing the horse to limp?
If I read correctly you're describing a horse's chestnut. All horses have chestnuts, just like we have fingernails. It's just natural. There is no way that your horse's chestnut is what's causing him to limp. Maybe you should call in your ferrier or another horse expert to see what the real problem is.
