The kid is like him sometimes, though Han thinks even more volatile. Whether he actually is that explosive still or if he just was when he was that age, he's not in a position to judge accurately. What the Captain thinks of himself and how he actually is ... have never completely lined up.
In fact, the phrase 'delusions of grandeur' is not just something he's accused others of.
He gives the kid a little bit of time to cool off. Ben can do a lot more with that burst of anger than Han can and he's proven to have tentative control of his rage at best. He doesn't think the kid would hurt him now, having plenty of chances to have done so already, but that doesn't mean he wants to find out he's wrong ...
So when the worst of his frustration seems passed, he will go in and check on him. Han thinks up about five or six things to potentially say, most of which are glib or advice that he wants to give him that seems like overstepping, so instead he'll ask simply, "are you okay?"
