Not really.

If there was an observer between the moon and Earth during this mission, if they were orientated properly, they could have seen the Apollo 11 CSM and LM pass in front of the sun, but no one was there to see this.

The moon is in orbit around the Earth. The space craft simply went from low Earth orbit to a higher orbit that intersected the moon's orbit. At no time did they travel further than 260,000 miles. The sun is 93,000,000 from the Earth. There would be no reason for the Apollo 11 craft to "pass the sun" to get to the moon.
