Morphology
everything + will + be + alright
The reassuring meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'everything' (all things) + 'will be' (future state) + 'alright' (in a good/acceptable state). This is a literal, compositional sentence that follows standard grammar and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner knowing the words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Everything will be alright feels like a warm promise from a friend or parent—imagine someone putting an arm around you and whispering it to calm you in a hard moment. So, it is used 'to reassure someone that things will get better'.
