There are 3 kinds of verb in Japanese that are split into 3 groups. I wrote a detailed explanation about them here.
待つ is a group 1 verb. Since it ends in つ, the volitional form conjugates as とう. If it ended in ぐ, it would be ごう, it it was ぶ, it would be ぼう, etc. Please see this video for an explanation of how to conjugate verbs into a casual volitional form.

Shouldnt the lower one be くる → こよう instead?

What does る5 mean?
Okay thanks - I’d figured it was a godan verb, just haven’t seen a number above る2 before!
