Sure, Christianity was brought to Egypt by one of the 70 disciples and one of the 4 Bible writers St. Mark.
St. Mark came to Egypt during the Greek era in Egypt and spread the new religion into Alexandria then the church began which spread Christianity all over Egypt.
Egypt has many Coptic monuments from the Coptic era (when Egypt was a Christian country) specially that Egypt is the only country that Jesus himself visited while was a child and crossed it from the Delta in the north to Assiut in the south.

Yes, Christianity has roots in Egypt but only because it is a neighboring country to Jerusalem. Egypt invaded at one point and took the people as slaves. The people turned to something as a means of escape and religion was the only diversity they could turn to.

Totally. Christianity had it's roots in Judaism which had strong roots in Egypt and Africa. Moses himself married an Ethiopian woman.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem but God told his parents to flee to Egypt for his safety. He lived there for some time and later his family settled in Nazareth.
The Jewish nation spent some time in Egypt under slavery.
