What does "along" add in meaning to "bring" in "Bring it along" ? Could using "along" here be a way to show courtesy and kindness, just as it in "Come along"?

a. Could using "along" here be a way to show courtesy and kindness, just as it in "Come along"?
b. Could using "along" here be a way to show courtesy and kindness, just as it is in "Come along"?
I think that (a) and (b) can both be used.
I take (a) to mean that ...just as it in "Come along" (is a way to show courtesy and kindness).
I take (b) to mean that ...just as it is in "Come along" (to show courtesy and kindness).
What do you think?
