Etymology-wise, 答应 is 'to answer/agree'. Looking at some references though, the vernacular use of 答应 is generally 'to promise'. On 答应, if vernacular > etymology and if my searches on vernacular use of 答应 is correct, 'to promise' can be put first:

/to promise/to answer; to respond; to answer positively/to agree; to accept/

Otherwise, you may keep or improve the definitions grouping I've made

The usages of 答应 on following videos is not 'to promise' though, I think it's because there are no two people talking to eacher other, most of the videos of 答应 on youglish are narrating/presenting something, the usages of 答应 here are mostly 'to answer/agree/accept': https://youglish.com/pronounce/答应/chinese/cn
