I am needing to make a call to a US number with an (866) prefix and I am wondering if this would charge or whether it would be free

No, this counts as an International call & is chargeable. It's not covered in your UK call allowance which is only for UK 01, 02 & 03 landlines & UK 07 mobiles.

International calls & texts to overseas nos. from UK can be rather expensive but EE has a free add-on that anyone, on PAYG or contract, can apply for to give these calls & texts at a fraction of the standard rates. See The Free CALL ABROAD Add-on for Cheap Calls/Texts from UK .
