To debug a function, what I currently know is to put 'browser()' in
it. But I'm wondering if there is a way like 'step in' that is
available in debuggers of other languages (e.g. gdb).

Learn to search:

library(sos)
???"debug step"

I download the document from cran. But I prefer to consult the
document from R session. What command should I use to get the document
for the package of sos?

The same way you would install any other package.

What command should I use to get the list of
functions that are in sos?

Most packages have an index. Some will display a list with:
help(package= <pkg-name> )

(Do you read r-help? Did you read any basic material? Seems as though this
much should have crossed your eyes and brain before. )

I used some other method to look for functions that are available from
other packages. But it didn't work for sos. And I was aware of the
package argument to help().

If it is still not clear, then do it the old fashioned way. Either
<RTFM>  i.e. http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html     ... or

RSiteSearch("install packages")
