    It can  suggest probability in a question:

    "Would you care to accompany me?" ("would" in this case asks for the probability of being accompanied)

    "Would" also always suggests some level of probability; otherwise the word used would be "will", which suggests absolute action.

      No. The word "could" is more apt.
