I would bet "billigen" and English "bill" are cognates, because eventually both refer to a paper someone has to confirm.
"To bill" smt in German, means to mentally sighn smt. -> to approve.
But this wouldn't necessarily translate into need for action.
Etwas nicht billigen...just means that you don't want it (Although you do it).
Bewilligen is a matter of "will", probably in the vintage meaning of this word, which is pretty much the same in both languages, since it denotes the willingness and the change.
Btw, German "billig" means "easy to buy/accept" and translates to English "cheap".
And that's pretty much the difference.
