El Salvador's migration regulation (Art. 34, published in the Diario Oficial) says people classified in category "B" who hold a visa of the United States, Canada or Schengen are treated as category A: their passport is stamped "Exento de Visa", and they pay for the Tarjeta Migratoria de Ingreso on entry.

Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Egypt, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Egypt as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Egypt license
El Salvador and Egypt are both party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Egypt is one El Salvador is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
