Yes, millions of them that do the law because he wrote it on their hearts.

Those that know him not, but “do” the law will be judged by the law as everyone will, but will be found short.

Nope, you have to read the whole chapter.

He is simply pointing out that all that are in Yeshua do the law because it is their nature. “Written on their hearts.”

No, Paul disagrees:

"by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight"

Look at Paul's explanation of "Plan B", and I think you'll see that it sheds more light on what he means by "works of the law":

"We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law." - 3:28

"For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory" - 4:2

"Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt." - 4:4

And especially here:

"Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works, saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom, the Lord will not reckon sin." - 4:6-8

What does that mean, "righteousness apart from works"? Why, it's forgiveness.

There's a righteousness from works - that's flawless law-keeping, resulting in acquittal.
And there's a righteousness apart from works - that's forgiveness of law-breaking, resulting in acquittal.
