What are the chances of there ever being a draft again in America?

Pretty much zero, I would say.  The Selective Service system was abolished in the 1980s and the United States never had a draft.  It was introduced briefly during World War II and it never happened again.

Why are we still required to sign up for the draft?

We don’t “sign up for the draft” anymore, the only legal requirements of men are to register with the Selective Service System and maintain a legal form of identification.   If you were drafted, which you would never be, you’d have to serve two years on active duty and three years in the reserves.

Well if we still have to sign up for the selective service, doesn't that mean a draft could still happen?
