Hello,

I would like to know what is the best possible move to whites second move.

Gaga.

e6 is the best move, blocking off the bishop's diagonal and opening up black's dark squared bishop.

This also prepares ...d5, which almost instantly equalizes.

Well... that's a tough question... You have many possibilities from that point! Someone will say e6, other night or bishop, but... It's only matter what do you have on your mind... what atack!? That is classical in openings but things can change wery quickly, if you are not master! My advice to you is that you must practice, a lot! Try as many as u can possibilities and you will see, which way answer best to your's offensive structure... This will take a several or more games, but hey! greetings Gaga...

I play d6 because I play the Dragon. More common are e6 or Nc6 (often followed by e6) but I don't think they fit the Dragon well. They may work well with non-Dragon variations of the Sicilian. So first you have to decide what variation of the Sicilian you will play and then which pawn move fits best with that variation.
