Neither attacks nor saves involve competing rolls; either the aggressor is rolling to see if they hit or the target of an effect is rolling to see if they can avoid or mitigate it. Some attacks might include a secondary effect that involves a save, but those are two distinct events, and a save is only rolled when an effect expressly calls for it.
Dex is baked into AC as part of the calculation and adjusted based on how heavy of armor you wear. So your ability to move to avoid a hit is already being considered. There might be older editions of D&D that had a rule similar to that, but 5e does not.

If a monster hits someone and beats their armour class is the player then allowed to make a dexterity save as well to not get hit?

No.

This is really helpful thanks. Makes sense with evasion.
