Am I right in assuming that if Biden dies(as President) and because Kamala Harris isn't eligible to be President is the House Speaker(MJ) next in line and therefore becomes the next President?

IF Harris were actually determined to be ineligible to be President, then yes, that would be the case. But the same eligibility for President also apply to the Vice President, so she has already been ruled eligible by the powers that be. The opinions of people on this forum are irrelevant.
Much more likely, if you think this is the plan, is that she would voluntarily resign for some reason, moving Johnson into the top spot.
this. or it may be possible for someone to challenge Kamala eligibility upon the departure of Bidan (as some call him) at which point the legally appropriate position of the courts may be to have the SOTH be acting President until the eligibility matter is resolved. logic, limiting of harm, and equities seem to suggest this is appropriate action lest an ineligible person take the role and cause irreparable harm
