I do not know if b4. is the best move, but it looks like a claasical minority attack to me. After the pawn reach b5, you either force black to take with the c pawn, after he has a single d pawn, or you take on c6 in he has another weaknes, the backward pawn on c6. I think this weakness alone is not enough to win the game against best play, but for sure white has the better of it.
