Difference? (disregard previous post about Difference?)

*A little context: The people are about to leave for the party, and one person (family member), has not appeared.

A: "Where is he(the person that is not there)?"

In this dialogue, is the person mean coming to the party, or coming with them to the party?

1)

B: "I don't think that he's coming, he has been mad with us all day, and has been ignoring me."

2)

B: "He's not coming. He has been mad with us all day, and has been ignoring me."


Is the first way just a way to say "no" in a more nice, and less straightforward way? Also, does person B mean coming to the party, or coming to the party with them?
