This is the data format

+------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| visitor_id |                                                       visits                                                      |

Answer 1

You can approach that problem as time-series prediction problem. Below is one of articles or tutorials about time-series forecasting/prediction.

Answer 2

As per your description,

Objective: Predict if a visitor_id will visit the retail store(on 144th day)

Data: Visitor ID and Visited day Number

Approach:

1. Find unique number of Visitors and group them by number of visits

2. Select by group

3. Transform Data into individual series as follows: example

   For Visitor_ID: X1
   Day No      Visited(Yes or No)
   1           Yes
   2           Yes
   3           No
   4           No
   .           .
   .           .
   .           .
   .           .
   143         No
   
   For Visitor_ID: X2
   Day No      Visited(Yes or No)
   1           No
   2           Yes
   3           Yes
   4           No
   .           .
   .           .
   .           .
   .           .
   143         Yes
   

4. Look for suitable algorithm for the data for prediction.

Hope this helps.
