Morphology
The meaning 'to attract or engage' is directly derivable from combining 'draw' (to pull/attract) with the directional particle 'in' (toward/into): together they yield the sense 'pull in' or 'bring in' people/attention. This verb+particle composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will likely infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Draw in comes from the image of something that pulls people or attention toward it: draw 'pull' and in 'toward you', like bright lights or a shop window that brings people closer. So it means 'to attract or bring people in'.
