I would write it differently. For one thing, you need another comma after 'people':
Mr. Kelada, who shows off all the time and is insensitive to other people, notices Mrs. Ramsay’s pale and nervous face. I don't know the full context, but it sounds like you want to say 'noticed', that he had noticed her face, despite not usually being sensitive:
Mr. Kelada, who shows off all the time and is insensitive to other people, noticed Mrs. Ramsay’s pale and nervous face.
"He likes to go outside and is a outgoing person." - that is fine. If you were asking if you needed to repeat the word 'he' like 'He likes to go outside and he is a outgoing person.' - no you don't need to do that. It would sound a little awkward that way.
I hope that helps!

There is no such word as and outdoing person. You could say someone likes to feel that he outdoes other people so he buys very expensive clothes (whatever). I am not sure I would ever use the two sentences together. I might say that Although, Mr Kelada, seems like a show off and an insensitive person , he actually is rather sensitive and notices Mrs. Ramsay's pale and nervous face and feels concerned.
