1.) Is Arabic language somehow similar to Turkish language? Or is it just the culture that seems similar.
Etymologically Turkish and Arabic languages are very distant. Arabic is a Afro/Asiatic-Semitic language (most north african and middle eastern languages like berber and hebrew) while Turkish is an Altaic language (many central asian languages; other turkic languages like Uzbek, Uyghur, Tatar, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Azeri, etc or others like mongolian, korean, etc.).
So the sentence structure and grammar are totally different. However, due to close relations especially during Ottoman Empire, there has been many word exchanges. Turkish has many Arabic loan words. Although many single words could be understood, the two languages are NOT mutually intelligible even to some extent.

2.) And ´Allah´, the God of the Turks, is he believed by Egyptians also?
What kind of a question is that :S But if this is what you ask, majority of Turks and Egyptians are Muslim and the God is called Allah in Arabic. Turkish has also another word for God, which is Tanrı.
3.) The modern day Egyptian language is now Arabic, which is not Turkish right? Turkish is not Arabic, is what I think, I do not know. Is it?
Modern Egyptian languages is a version of Arabic. I think (I am not sure) Coptic people in Egypt speak some similar language to ancient one. Check wikipedia.
One last question, 4.) Is modern Egyptian language now Turkish AND Arabic or just Arabic? It is not Egyptian, for that language died like a thousand years ago.
