But can you explain why the person says both yea and no, and what each of them mean in this sentence?

No but seriously, it's just sort of mashing together two different trains of thought.

"Yeah, I agree" and "No, I'm not disagreeing with you"

ime it's usually said when the conversation gets a little muddled and the speaker wants to clarify that they're on your side, in case of a misunderstanding

That's not an explanation, that's just attributing its usage to a region.

We can all try to answer them, but be warned that most of the answers are probably going to boil down to "English is a language where the rules are made up and the points don't matter" >_>

General gesture of affirmation followed by a confirmation to debunk any perceived expectations of disagreement from the other party. Or it could be a question where an affirmative response is not actually the correct response, so it's a quick clarification to state that they meant to agree with the statement. But it's most likely just a statement repeated so many times it has no real purpose other than being regional slang.

Yeah is acknowledgement of the statement almost in a 3rd person way without really disengaging to that degree

No I agree is like a conclusive redirection back into the actual topic after you segued out to acknowledge the former.. its more of a formal reply in case it wasnt clear where you stand because you took the time to formally acknowledge what a person is saying

Let's count them: Positive + Negative + Positive = Positive.

English is, like a lot of languages -- one where two negatives can make a positive. However, in no language do two positives make a negative -- I know what you're thinking.... "Yeah, right...."
