Traffic on its own has no bearings to improving SEO, ranking on serps etc and further there is no way for search engines to know accurately the traffic arriving at your website - except for which it sends through its own search results....
Normally people engage in SEO with the aim of getting more traffic through increased rankings on the search results - primarily through backlinking and on-page seo... Getting more traffic is not a ranking factor.

In a way yes. It's indirect but, it can have an impact on SEO, let me explain with more detail:
Since you are getting traffic to your site, you'll have the opportunity to be promoted by your visitor on other sites. Like forums, blogs, etc.
This will earn you natural backlinks enhancing your rankings on Google (as long as the links you get are "follow"). People promoting you will get you more traffic and more backlinks which will impact your SEO. So... yeah it helps. In an indirect way but, it helps.
Hope this help you understand better SEO

I agree with the indirect means - but that's all down to chance and luck... In most cases people who click on an ad or social link do not think wow that's amazing and in turn create a backlink from their blog to your website....
Again in simple terms getting traffic to your website is not a ranking factor. If it was then all you would have to do is run ads and you would rank - which is clearly not the case...

Traditionally traffic is not significant off-page factor for increasing you SEO ranking, and we also don't has any concrete proof on it yet.
However many experts look at SEO as something more psychological these days. Thus traffic, bounce rate, stickiness of your audience can indicate the quality of your website and content, and in some way probably affect your SEO performance in term of user experience.

Exactly, this is just like elcidofaguy said, it's to a chance of luck for people to share your content on other people's sites. Which makes this an indirect thing! it's just like social media.
You go and share your content and if it's good enough it can get reshared on their sites or added in conversations in forums getting you more backlinks. But, who knows if you will get a single backlink, it's pure luck.
