What are the chances of having subungual melanoma in the smallest toe nail ? brown line on pinky toe nail reasons ? is it always melanoma ?

Slim chance,see derm: though the chances are slim that this is a melanoma, you should be evaluated in person by a dermatologist. Sometimes, a bx of the lesion might be necessary to confirm the dx. Be sure that you provide an accurate hx of the lesion to your dermatologist.
