봐 is a main verb.
(네가 그를 얼마나 행복하게 만들었는지(를)) + (봐)

얼마나 + 네가 그를 행복하게 만들었(다) + 는지
얼마나 : how
는지 : a connective ending used to indicate an ambiguous reason or judgment about the following statement.
네가 그를 행복하게 만들었다(You made him happy) is a subordinate clause.

그를 always means "him".
그 is the pronoun corresponding to "he", and since Korean has marker particles, it can take the form of 그는, 그가 (he - subject), 그를 (him - object), 그의 (his - possessive), 그에게 (to him), 그와 (with him), and many others.
(그녀 is the feminine version (그녀가, 그녀를, 그녀의, 그녀에게, 그녀와, ...), and 그들 the plural one (그들이, 그들을, 그들의, 그들에게, 그들과, ...)).
The sentence is grammatically correct. It is telling the other person to see how happy he or she made him.
