is this sentence right? (english grammar)

I don't know that it's grammatically incorrect (although "someone who was" sounds a little better, even if "someone that was" isn't strictly incorrect), but it isn't a good sentence.  It's way too wordy.

I'd go with either "And little did he know, he'd find someone better." or "And little did he know, he'd find someone who was capable of making him fall head over heels."

The "for her" bit is unnecessary and a little awkward, because it's implied.  And the "someone" has too many epithets as presented.  If you really want both, you could say "And little did he know, he'd find someone better: someone who was capable of making him fall head over heels."  That way, the last bit of the sentence doesn't get caught up in a mess of pronouns.
