There's a popular understanding that the Gra asked R Chaim of Volozhin to write a sefer based on his teachings that would deal with many points that the sefer Tanya dealt with and this is the Nefesh HaChaim.

  1. Is there a source to this story?
  2. If not, is it a given that what R Chaim writes in his book is what the Gra himself held to be true?

The Toras ha'Gra is on a different plane than the ideas expressed in the writings of Reb Chaim Volozhin so it is probably not possible to make this comparison.
