The verb will is related to the noun will, which is one’s capacity to wish or want something. What do you mean by willen in Dutch?

Is he will do it means it is highly probable for him to do it in the future” rather than “he wants to deal with it now”? What makes up probability and desirability a fluid in all the languages in Europe? See below question, whose answers contain a more thorough explanation of the shift.

How do you change the verb from wanting to future probability? Is the type of sentence you quoted a good example?

What this really and originally means is “he doesn’t want to come out” the old meaning of the verb. What is the verb? Perhaps the sense of wish or desire is not entirely clear any more to most modern speakers, but it is the reason behind this construction. Why do we sometimes find it odd when we go through it?

The “will not” or “won’t” sometimes implies it’s the choice (will) of the subject. From that day on, “he is no” doesn’t. If he doesn’t, it’s equivalent to “he won’t” idiomatically, at least in modern usage.
