Answer 1

Hi Vates, you can also use "quizás" instead of " a lo mejor". (both are synonyms). "When you answer a question with "a lo mejor" there are two synonymons words in English (that have more or less the same meaning): "maybe" and "perhaps". The first one is more common as a short answer.. However I think in English, it is more common to use "might" (the subject, followed by "might".)

Examples:

Are you going to the party? (¿Vas a ir al fiesta?) I might . (A lo mejor / Quizás)

Are they going to come? (¿Van (ellos) a venir?) They might .( A lo mejor / Quizás)

Answer 2

I think that when you use ´a lo mejor´ you are not only expressing likelihood but also hoping that something is going to happen.
