Height really only plays a very small percentage on the length of club needed. It's more to do with your wrist to floor measurement. You could be closer to 6'5" and have long arms and only need standard length or you could be 5'10" and have really short arms and need clubs with additional length added to them. For reference, I'm just over 6'3" and play standard length clubs. There are plenty of fitting guides on the ol interweb that will give you directions on how to measure and to determine what length you need.
With all that being said, if you only want to play couple times a year and could care less to get better, than this set will be fine. If your still youngish and athletic just don't try to murder the ball when you swing, have a good time and make some great memories. Remember it's only a sport.
If you're going to play casually, just trust me on this tidbit, none of the things you're worried about will matter. Buy a cheap set, drink beer, hit balls (or try to) and have fun with the boys.

I'm completely new to golf. Haven't even played yet. Got to a driving range a couple times many years ago. Long story short, I have no idea what I'm looking for or at when it comes to golf. I'm 6'3" tall if that matters. My brother in law wants me to come play with the boys and I need an entry level setup that fits me. Would this work? I am right hand dominant.

If your 6'3, these will probably be short for you. At that height, it would be hard to find clubs off the rack. Maltby clubs could be had for cheap and be customized to your height.

The tall version available at the link should work, but of course they are not the set on sale.

These clubs should suit you well. Follow the advice about getting your wrist to floor measurement and seeing if standard length is correct for you. Honestly, unless you have arms freakishly out of proportion to your height, standard length will likely fit. And I wouldn't worry at all if the fitting charts say you should play clubs half an inch shorter or longer; it won't make much of a difference. An inch or more one direction or the other is when it starts to matter.
This is a budget set from a company that does make legitimate golf clubs. You won't have the latest and greatest tech, but they're built well and should hold up.

The problem with these "starter sets" is that you will quickly outgrow them. And then you will basically be buying twice.
Better to build a good set from the start. Get a nice driver, get a nice putter. Then some irons. Can even get single irons from second swing, and just get a single 4 or 5, then a single 9. Or go in with someone 50/50 on an iron set, and one person keep the odd numbers and the other keep the even numbers. Be creative, and build up a nice set over time. Much better investment than throwing hundreds into throw-away clubs.
After you play a few times, and get the hang of it, you will want better clubs and these starter clubs will just sit in the closet never to be used again, and you will be kicking yourself wishing you could have the four hundred bucks back to roll that money into better clubs.

This is the way to go in my opinion as well. Starter sets for everything are quickly outgrown and you end up wasting money. Even if you have no clue about golf, similar to me when I started, you'd be much better off buying a mid grade set that will last 5-10 years until you really need an upgrade. Really cheap starter set clubs don't have much forgiveness and you'll be even more frustrated with the sport. Do some research, buy midgrade stuff with solid reviews and you'll be set for a while

Gosh I was looking to get back into golf after 7 year break, but my last set was $150 from Amazon and this is more than double for even less clubs. Last set was phenomenal, strata brand and they were great for me
