None of the above.
A salesman called to discuss with us........ 2 days ago
A salesman called to.....
What did the salesman call for?
If you must use your sentence, I suppose you could get away with:
A salesman called upon us 2 days ago.But it doesn't sound right.
The slang answer would be
A salesman called on us 2 days ago.

On. To "call on" is used when someone visits someone in person.
Can't say "called up us" - You would hear "a salesman called us up" informally, if he called on the phone. But technically that's incorrect, because of the preposition at the end of the clause (if he "called us up 2 days ago," it sounds a little bit like "up" could be modifying "2 days ago").
Called over is if he said something to get us to physically approach him. But you would never say "called over us," it'd be "called us over."

If he was selling "English Lessons for Dummies" I recommend you make the purchase.
