Which way would be correct to say? 1. Could it be there's a person in this place who thinks the same way as you do and you wouldn't still like to talk to them? OR 2. Could it be there were a person in this place who thought the same way as you did and you wouldn't still like to talk to them?

One is pretty much grammatically correct but "still" should come before "wouldn't" not after. Perhaps a slightly more natural way to express the thought however is as follows: "Could it be that you don't want to speak to anyone here, even if they should happen to think the same way as you?"

You can say, "there's a person" (meaning "there is" a person) Or "There WAS a person" for a past-tense situation. For your sentence, "there's" OR "there is" would both be correct. "There were" - this would only be used for more than one person. I.e. "There were people at the bar that I didn't want to talk to. At the concert, there's a man I want to meet." I hope this helps =O)
