Since you are creating a markup as a string you don't have convert it into json. Just send it as it is combining all the array elements using implode method. Try this.

PHP change

$response = array();
$response[] = "link";
$response[] = 1;
echo implode("", $response);//<-----Combine array items into single string

JS (Change the dataType from json to html or just don't set it jQuery will figure it out)

$.ajax({
   type: "POST", 
   dataType: "html", 
   url: "main.php", 
   data: "action=loadall&id=" + id,
   success: function(response){
      $('#main').html(response);
   }
});
