"Arabic" usually refers to the Modern Standard Arabic dialect, but the actual spoken dialectal Arabic used by regular people varies almost as much as different European languages. Egyptian Arabic is the most popular dialect because of their television industry and popular culture. One common difference from other dialects, is that Egyptian uses a hard "G" like in "great", while most others use a soft one, like in "age". "Eastern Arabic" most likely refers to the dialects used on the Arabian peninsula, and could be Gulf Arabic, Iraqi Arabic and/or Levantine Arabic.

Is Egyptian Arabic language like western Arabic language or eastern Arabic language?

Although the majority of linguists group it with the Eastern Arabic dialect group, it still shares many similarities with Western Arabic as well. Some linguists agree that Egyptian Arabic constitutes its own group because it is still different from both groups in terms of phonology and semantics. Some similarities between Egyptian and Eastern,e.g, Standard Arabic: Waqtun (time) Eastern(Lebanese): Wa'et Western(Moroccan): Weqt Egyptian: Wa't Standard Arabic: Men (who) Eastern(Lebanese): meen Western(Moroccan): Ashkoon Egyptian: Meen Standard Arabic: Anaa uHibbuka (I love you) Eastern(Lebanese): Enaa bHibbaak Western(Moroccan): Kanebgheek Egyptian: Ana baHebbak Some similarities between Egyptian and Western, e.g, Standard Arabic: Rajulan (man) Eastern(Lebanese): Zalame Western(Moroccan): Rajel Egyptian: Raagil Standard Arabic: Ayna (where) Eastern(Lebanese): Wein Western(Moroccan): Feen Egyptian: Fein Standard Arabic: Lam yabda' (he didn't start) Eastern(Lebanese): Ma ballesh Western(Moroccan): Ma bida-sh Egyptian: Ma bada'-sh In some cases, although rarely, Eastern Arabic may share more with Western Arabic than Egyptian does, e.g, Standard Arabic: Kayfa (how) Eastern(Lebanese): Keef Western(Moroccan): Kifash Egyptian: Izzaay Standard Arabic: Bakaa (he cried) Eastern(Lebanese): Biki Western(Moroccan): Bika Egyptian: 'ayyat Standard Arabic: Sagheerun Eastern(Lebanese): Izgheer Western(Moroccan): Sgheer Egyptian: Sughayyar These are just a few terms that reflect the similarities between Egyptian Arabic and these two Dialect groups. You will more than likely find speakers of Egyptian Arabic who can comprehend Eastern Arabic with ease rather than Western Arabic. In terms of the structure of Egyptian, it is more similar to the Western varieties as shown above ^ with verb conjugations. However in terms of vocabulary and to some extent phonology, Egyptian is more similar to Eastern Arabic.

What is the difference between Eastern Arabic and Turkish?

There is no such language as Eastern Arabic. Even if you meant to say Iraqi Arabic, there are fundamental differences between Arabic and Turkish. The only commonality between them is that between 5-10% of Turkish is made of Arabic loanwords. Everything from basic phrases, verb conijugations, declensions, etc. are different.
