Well yeah, I didn't mean just so we can see if it's alien probe or not but mostly to see how it looks like and what is it composed of, maybe even take samples from it. For instance, you can hear Dr. Pamela Gay explain it (this was recorded back in 2017 when it was first thought that Oumuamua is a comet)

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No, illegal aliens; they will probably want welfare and food stamps, and, of course, will vote Democrat.

The answer to that is velocity. Nothing in this solar system except the sun could have accelerated Oumuamua to the speed it was moving when it was detected. The trajectory was wrong for it to have been accelerated by our star. It came from the direction of Vega, that doesn't mean it originated there, and is now headed in the direction of Pegasus.
