'Who might you be?' - Is this a polite way of asking for a person's name? Does the question show that the speaker is uncertain as to who the listener is? When do we use this question in our daily life?

I don't think it's a very polite way of asking that, no; I think it's a bit abrupt. ;-)
Try:
- May I ask your name?
Or:
- My name is Ron. What is yours?
:D
