Is it true that ancient Egyptians thought that all fractions could be written as unit fractions?

No. They thought that all fractions could be expressed as combinations of unit fractions. They and other ancients may have thought that any fraction could be wretten as a combination of unit fractions, but according to wikipedia they (ancient Egyptians) had special symbols for 2/3 and 3/4 and even had a papyrus used by scribes that listed the equivalents for 2/n, so they did not always write fractions as this combination of unit fractions. Does your question mean a combination of unit fractions, or as a unit fraction?

How are decimals and fractions alike?

Decimals and fractions are alike because all decimals are fractions and all fractions are decimals. As an example: 1/2, which is one-half, is the same as 0.5. The same is true for 2/4. 3/6, 4/8, and so on. Essentially all decimal are the quotient of two numbers divided by one another, which is a fraction.
