You need to wait for the Migration Agency to send you an e-mail asking you to make an appointment for an interview. Since it depends on which unit of the Migration Agency that is in charge of your application, the handling time also varies from case to case and sometimes it takes months before you receive the e-mail to book an interview. You cannot make an appointment at the Embassy before you receive this e-mail.

For information on the present waiting time, please refer to the link below:

Yes, you can make trips to other countries within Schengen, but only for travelling purposes, not for the purpose of settling down.
