Here help is the direct object of the infinitive, to offer. Infinitives are always verbs; they are never adverbs.

Nouns don't take direct object arguments. These do; hence they are verbs.
Infinitives are always verbs. They are non-finite verbs capable of doing anything else a verb can do, particularly in that they take adverbs as modifiers and they take noun phrases as arguments.
To imagine otherwise is going to lead you into contradiction and confusion. Notice how there the infinitive took the adverb otherwise. Nouns don’t take adverbs; verbs do. Just because to imagine otherwise is here the subject of the verb is does not make imagine a noun. That’s just silly. It’s still a verb. The entire clause is a noun phrase, and hence can be the subject. But there are no nouns involved. It’s only just a verb.
This is the same facile error that people so frequently make with gerunds, which are another kind of verb that can be used substantively. That does not make such verbs nouns, and only the entire clause counts as a noun phrase. There is no noun.
