Does Helping Hand boost the power of Nature Power?

Nature Power is classified as a status move, so would Helping Hand boost it’s power in a double battle or would it not because it isn’t classified as an attack?

Yes it will, because helping hand boosts the attack and special attack STAT not the power of the move. Even though its a status it changes to an attack.
