I think the One Ring's innate 'will' is more an instinctive kind of thing, a 'get back to Sauron' program. I don't think the One Ring can plan out elaborate strategies or anything like that.

If we assume a less than conscious aspect of Sauron's mind then wearing or bearing the One Ring brings a part of Sauron's unconscious into the mind of whoever wears or bears the One Ring.

But tempting Samwise was no more elaborate than tempting anyone else. It just reached into his head, grabbed at his conscious/subconscious fantasies, and offered to make them real. The temptation came mostly from within, drawn out by the Ring. Samwise crafted the fantasy, the Ring gave it 'reality'. And of course, between Sam's love for Frodo and his own common sense, it was quickly dismissed.
