Does anyone know of a website that has saxophone scales / melodic scales and sax chords so that I can practice along with so that I can improve my improvisation skills on sax?

Check out Pete Thomas' website..
http://www.petethomas.co.uk/

Steve Neff has lots of material available as well.

Now if you are looking for something to play along to, such as a
backing track (your post is ambiguous), then online you can
find midi files, otherwise there is plenty of material available from
Jamey Aebersold on CD's.

BTW - Alto Saxophone chords are no different than chords on any
other sax or instrument. Unless you are looking for chord arpeggio
exercises written specifically for the sax.

If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, etc., there is a digital Real Book (iReal b) that allows transposition for Eb, Bb, ect. All the Real Book tunes and it has rhythm section for play-along. It is really a good tool that I have been using. You might want to check it out.

And of course, Tim Price has a lot of free material available...
