First, I would find out if there are interviews. If you didn’t schedule one in advance, then there may not be one. I found this link by searching “Cornell interview” Cornell University Undergraduate Admissions Office. Doesn’t seem to be any unless you’re under specific circumstances. However, if you do have an interview, I would dress way nicer than you would at school. A button down shirt (tucked in), khakis, and nice shoes will do. But do not wear plaid shorts, or any shorts for that matter. Depending on the setting and who your interviewer is, you may need to dress up even more than that, like wearing a jacket and tie. Ask questions that you genuinely want to know, stuff that you can’t find by simply googling or searching the school website. For example, if you’re interested in student life, ask questions like “what are some things you consider a ‘must do’ for students here?” etc. And yes, you can always wander around alone before or after the tour, or any other time you’re on campus.
