The word BUT can "act" as a preposition but is typically a conjunction and possibly an adverb. In the sentence "No one can help him but himself" the phrase "but himself" is actually an elliptical (truncated) form of "but he can help himself" where BUT is a conjunction. Here the word BUT functions like the word except, which is more consistently defined as a preposition.
Yes, "by himself" is a prepositional phrase, consisting of the preposition by and the object pronoun himself.
in case you need to wash your hair while you're on the crapper The above is just a joke. Arabs typically use water to clean themselves after using the toilet as opposed to Westerners who typically use toilet paper. If there is a full-fledged hose, the Arab will point it as his rear after defecating to clean himself. If there is only a spigot, there will also be bucket. The Arab will use the spigot to fill the bucket and then splash his rear as necessary.
Himself is not a preposition. It's a reflexive pronoun.
