You need to consult US business law as well as immigration law specialists as well as a CPA with the specifics of your situation.

Do i have to open another company in usa?

We know nothing about your business venture, but generally speaking that is the sensible thing to do.

If don't(i prefer), should i apply for another visa, like E-2 or something else.

If you don't form a U.S. subsidiary? While your decision to open a subsidiary may affect the type of visa you seek, whether you do or do not you would want a visa that authorizes you to do whatever it is you plan to do while in the U.S.

The details of your plan would affect the type of visa that's appropriate to your situation, so consulting an immigration lawyer with the details of your plan would be sensible.
