Could someone without a telescope see a comet if it were near the planet Saturn?

No. A comet is not usually very big (20km or so). What gives a comet its brightness is its tail, which is seen when it approaches the sun, and the Earth's orbit. Then the heat from the sun leads to the release of vapor and water from the comet (which is basically a dirty snowball) - basically a vast cloud behind it which can be many thousands of kilometres long, which is what we see. At Saturn's orbit, the comet would simply be a dirty snowball, hard to detect even with a powerful telescope. At the low temperatures (like -180c) it wouldn't be releasing any water vapour; at the same time, it would be very far away (at least 1.3 billion km) and it would not be getting much light shone on it (1/90th as much as when it reaches Earth orbit).
