Is this sentence's grammar correct? Can I say "Not only he has homered" instead?
The grammar is correct in this sentence, "not only" can be used at the beginning of a sentence to convey that "there was not only one thing, but there was an additional thing".

I don't think 'what is it' here literally ask what something is. I wanna know the meaning and when it can be used.
You're right. "What is it?" is not being used literally here. English speakers can use "What is it?" to express: "What's wrong?" (showing concern) or "What do you want?" (showing slight annoyance). How it sounds depends on the tone of voice you use. Ex: What is it, honey? You look sad. Do you have something you want to tell me? Ex: A: Boss, can I talk to you for a second? B: What is it? I'm really busy right now.
