I don't think we use shall like that in AE. But it is less strange than will would be there.

:wink:

'Shall' is widely used in this. Would you say 'should'?

Perhaps.

What would be natural AE?

Would you like some help with that?
Let me help you with that.
Do you need some help?

That's my opinion, anyhow.

They're all good in BE, too.

Shall is more appropriate in the sentence

I'd agree.

in my opinion I think saying (I will help you with that) not (will I help you with that ) is better and common.
