Is getting a Masters in public health gonna help me get into medical school?
If not, what kind of jobs can I expect to find with a MPH? I'm looking at this as a backup, in case I don't get into Medical school..

No because the MPH is directed towards those that want to be administrators of a large clinic or a hospital.

The question is, do you want to work in public health administration, or do you want to become a doctor? It is definitely possible to get your master's in public health then choose attend medical school. Many people who didn't do as well during their undergraduate years decide to get Master's degrees and then apply to medical school as a mechanism of raising their application GPA. However, if you do not need the boost, you are adding years to an already long road if you choose to do so. Many medical schools offer joint Masters/MD, or PhD/MD programs. It just depends on what you want your career to be. I recommend looking into some of these programs.
