The first version of the sentence is correct: You're handling this matter better than i would have expected.
It can be shortened to: You're handling this matter better than I expected.
The difference is very subtle.
The 'would have' implies that you have qualifying conditions in mind. Eg you're handling this matter better than I would have expected for someone so young.
Hope this helps.
