1) Visitors visas are not a sponsored visa like immigrants. The intending visitor just fills out a DS-156 online prints it out and pays the $131 equivalent fee to the consulate. You can provide an affidavit of support. (I-134) and attach financial evidence.
2) Parents fill out DS-156 on line, print it out and file it to the consulate. And as above you can provide an I-134, and perhaps an invitation letter.

There is no sponsoring of tourist visas. They get it (or don't) on their own merit.
