The hit chance shown in the preview when targeting the spell is for the saving throw rather than the attack roll.
Despite involving an attack roll and weapon damage, Hail of Thorns does not count as a weapon attack and does not activate abilities like Colossus Slayer or Sneak Attack (Ranged).

Bugs

The damage tooltip for Hail of Thorns displays it benefitting from weapon damage increasing effects, such as Sharpshooter: All In, but none of these effects function.
