Uhm, I don't know the whole conversation but it does mean yes.
"Yeah. No, for sure," does sound a bit confusing, but the person was just either trying to be polite and was affirming that they will be/are sure of something, or was maybe being sarcastic.
The person may have been doubting them, and felt like, "Oh, no no! I am sure of it," or "Oh, no no! I will do it."

Like @luna31r noted, it’s a little hard to say out of context…
But if the person speaking was Canadian, “yeah, no, for sure” means “definitely!”

Похоже, Вас сбило с толку схожее по конструкции русское выражение "Да нет, конечно!" 😁
Но дело в том, что в русском логическое ударение падает на "нет" и фраза означает отрицание, а в английском акцент на "Yeah" и, соответственно, фраза имеет обратное значение (согласие). Обратите внимание, кстати, на пунктуацию в ответах англоязычных пользователей. Она о многом может сказать.
