What I understand from the above output is that this person(or bot?) is changing ports every second and so a new PID for SSHD is created every time he(or it) "establishes" a connection. Am I right?
Next and more important thing I'd like to ask is does the "ESTABLISHED" state here mean that he(or it) actually has access to my server as the root user? Or if I'm right at my assumption above, does this mean he(or it) is scanning for ports in my server, still trying to get in?

Established only means that the connection is fully open and data can be transmitted. It doesn't necessarily mean that any data has been transmitted! It doesn't imply anything about layer 7, whether someone has authenticated to your system or not. You can check your system logs to learn if someone has authenticated successfully.
Thanks for clarifying that about the "established" state. That's what I'm actually worried about. I have set this server to send me an email every time a successful root login happens (I am using WHM/cPanel on this server). And it works when I login as root, I get an email. I'm not sure if it might be possible for root logins/successful authentication to happen without triggering the email notification I have set. Please excuse me, I'm relatively new to managing servers. Where do I find those system logs that you're talking about? I have CentOS 6.6 on this server, again with WHM/cPanel.

All the system logs are in/var/log
. I don't know what cPanel does; it is not a supportable topic here. You probably want to familiarize yourself with the system documentation.

Established means that the user on the other end has an open connection and so things like "shutdown -I" should work except if obviously you cannot do that anyway. I only worry about the outputs labelled Established unless the other ones are needed.

It doesn't imply anything about layer 7, whether someone has authenticated to your system or not. You can check your system logs to learn if someone has authenticated successfully.
Thanks for clarifying that about the "established" state. That's what I'm actually worried about. I have set this server to send me an email every time a successful root login happens (I am using WHM/cPanel on this server). And it works when I login as root, I get an email. I'm not sure if it might be possible for root logins/successful authentication to happen without triggering the email notification I have set. Please excuse me, I'm relatively new to managing servers. Where do I find those system logs that you're talking about? I have CentOS 6.6 on this server, again with WHM/cPanel.

All the system logs are in/var/log
. I don't know what cPanel does; it is not a supportable topic here. You probably want to familiarize yourself with the system documentation.

Established only means that the connection is fully open and data can be transmitted. It doesn't necessarily mean that any data has been transmitted!

Established means that the user on the other end has an open connection and so things like "shutdown -I" should work except if obviously you cannot do that anyway. I only worry about the outputs labelled Established unless the other ones are needed.

Most systems log authentication events. Where depends on the distribution / OS like
/var/log/secure
for Redhat and derivatives (Centos, Oracle Linux etc) and/var/log/auth.log
for Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu etc).– Brian
