The mutually complementary Euclid and Roman galaxy redshift surveys will use Halpha- and [OIII]-selected emission line galaxies as tracers of the large scale structure at $0.9 lesssim z lesssim 1.9$ (Halpha) and $1.5 lesssim z lesssim 2.7$ ([OIII]). It is essential to have a reliable and sufficiently precise knowledge of the expected numbers of Halpha-emitting galaxies in the survey volume in order to optimize these redshift surveys for the study of dark energy. Additionally, these future samples of emission-line galaxies will, like all slitless spectroscopy surveys, be affected by a complex selection function that depends on galaxy size and luminosity, line equivalent width, and redshift errors arising from the misidentification of single emission-line galaxies. Focusing on the specifics of the Euclid survey, we combine two slitless spectroscopic WFC3-IR datasets -- 3D-HST+AGHAST and the WISP survey -- to construct a Euclid-like sample that covers an area of 0.56 deg$^2$ and includes 1277 emission line galaxies. We detect 1091 ($sim$3270 deg$^{-2}$) Halpha+[NII]-emitting galaxies in the range $0.9leq z leq 1.6$ and 162 ($sim$440 deg$^{-2}$) [OIII]$lambda$5007-emitters over $1.5leq z leq 2.3$ with line fluxes $geq 2 times 10^{-16}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. The median of the Halpha+[NII] equivalent width distribution is $sim$250r{A}, and the effective radii of the continuum and Halpha+[NII] emission are correlated with a median of $sim$0.38 and significant scatter ($sigma sim $0.2$-$0.35). Finally, we explore the prevalence of redshift misidentification in future Euclid samples, finding potential contamination rates of $sim$14-20% and $sim$6% down to $2times 10^{-16}$ and $6 times 10^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$, respectively, though with increased wavelength coverage these percentages drop to nearly zero.
