The answer for your first question is hypothetical as the question.
I think for sure the main language would be English, French or Portuguese, depending of the country which would had came and stay on that little beutiful land.
The second question has already been wide answered, Nahualt.

That would be the language spoken by the natives of the area - Nahuatl.

Assuming that no other European or North American country settled it, the language would probably be one of the dialects of either the Mayans or Nahua. Both cultures were active in El Salvador and both languages have several different forms.

Tiny El Salvador has been home to some of the greatest civilizations of Mesoamerica (present-day Mexico and Central America).

A giant stone sculpture of a head, called the Olmec Boulder, shows that the great Olmec civilization was here at least as early as 2000 BC.

The Maya came not long after but they made their place in the history of El Salvador as they inhabited the western part of the country for over a thousand years. They left step-pyramids at Tazumal and San Andres.

The eastern part of the country was inhabited by the Chorit, Lenca, and Pokomam.

The last pre-Colombian civilization to dominate the area was the Pipil. They spoke a Nahuatl language, and were descendents of the Toltecs and Aztecs, both of Mexico. The Pipil probably came shortly after the final collapse of the Mayan empire in the 11th century.
Their culture, heavily influenced by the Maya, included writing, astronomy, and mathematics, and was based on corn farming>
They called their homeland Cuzcatlan, the Land of Precious Things.
