"look out for" = to watch over. Keep your eyes on something or someone.
right= a synonym for "correct"
So when a person asks a question and they say "right" at the end, this means they only want to hear one answer. the answer they want to hear is usually yes.

"Look out for him" -- Take care of / make sure he does not get into trouble / keep him safe
"Right" -- In the US, we'll say the word 'right' as a question. When we do that, we're telling you that we want you to say yes. In this case there is almost a pleading quality to it.
This is a mother begging a stranger to keep her son safe in a war. But she's hiding the begging behind polite terms.
I read this whole sentence as:
"Please tell me you're going to keep him safe, please?"
