We need more information to answer your question. I am assuming that you wish to travel to the United States to look at business opportunities and the like. If that is the case, you can apply for your B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa. Remember, on B-1/B-2 visitor visas, you are just coming to visit for business or pleasure and are returning. It is not a dual intent visa.

Most likely, B-1/B-2 visa. This is what you can get to come to the US as a tourist, as a visitor. You cannot work under this visa but certainly can have a feel for the country. The key is as you say to get this visa BEFORE applying for the EB-5. Once you apply for the EB-5 visa, you are declaring your immigrant intent. If you try to apply for the B-1/B-2 with an I-526 petition on file, you could easily be denied due to dual intent.
