Is a man named Helmut Guaro Sanchez from Buenos Aires, Argentina claiming to be the son of Adolf Hitler and is he planning to write a sequel to Mein Kampf?

It is not real.
The story originated from an article published by World News Daily Report on November 10, 2018 titled "Argentina: Alleged son of Adolf Hitler plans to write sequel to Mein Kampf" (archived here) which opened:
Buenos Aires | The alleged only living son of Adolf Hitler has announced he will undertake the task of writing a sequel to Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler's best-selling book that inspired a generation of Germans prior to WWII.
Helmut Guaro Sanchez, 66, has claimed for years that he is the sole heir to Adolf Hitler after the Fuehrer allegedly fled Germany at the end of the war to find refuge in Argentina.
His mother, Maria Guaro Sanchez, with whom the dictator allegedly had a brief fling in 1951, has recently passed away, leaving her son with an innumerable number of notes allegedly written by the Fuehrer himself.

The website World News Daily Report is a well known satire website specialized in posting hoaxes and made up stories. The disclaimer on their website is pretty clear about that even though you have to scroll all the way down the page to find it:
World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website - even those based on real people - are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.
It is run by Janick Murray-Hall and Olivier Legault, who also run the satirical Journal de Mourréal, a satirical site spoofing the (real) Journal de Montéal. Very often their stories feature an image showing a random crazy mugshot found in a mugshot gallery on the internet or on a stock photo website superimposed over a background of flashing police lights or crime scene tape.
Articles from the site are frequently copied (sometimes even months or years later) by varous fake news websites that omit the satire disclaimer and present the information as real.
