OK, ignoring most of the comments here --

judging from your post, your wife is dealing with this in an appropriate manner. Your question was should you talk to the guy?

I say no. That's putting your wife in an infantilized role, like you need to take care of her issues. That would p*ss me off bigtime, and it's simply not appropriate. I'm guessing you didn't marry a child, so don't treat her as one. As long as she continues to not return his advances, let her deal with it. She is an adult, and she deserves that you respect her as such.
