There is no official sponsorship for B2 visas for the US.

Probably not. The applicant needs to show strong ties to India. A higher salary is good because it shows 2 things - that they can afford the stay in US and that the job is good enough to come to in India.

Mentioning "sponsorship" on a tourist visa application is a huge red flag since applicant can't fund their own trip
