The massive galaxy cluster El Gordo ($z=0.87$) imprints multitudes of
gravitationally lensed arcs onto James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) images. Eight bands of NIRCam imaging were
obtained in the Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science
(PEARLS) program (GTO #1176). PSF-matched photometry across a suite of Hubble
Space Telescope (HST) and NIRCam filters gives new photometric redshifts. We
confirm 54 known image multiplicities and find two new ones and construct a
lens model based on the light-traces-mass method. The mass within 500kpc
estimated from the lens model is $\sim$$7.0\times10^14$M$_ødot$ with a
mass ratio between the southeastern and northwestern components of $\sim$unity,
similar to recent works. A statistical search for substructures recovers only
these two components, which are each tightly bound kinematically and are
separated in radial velocity by ~300 km s$^-1$. We identify a candidate
member of a known 4-member $z=4.32$ galaxy overdensity by its model-predicted
and photometric redshifts. These five members span a physical extent of
$\sim$60 kpc and exhibit multiple components consistent with satellite
associations. Thirteen additional candidates selected by
spectroscopic/photometric constraints are small and faint, with a mean apparent
brightness corrected for lensing magnification that is $\sim$2.2 mag fainter
than M*. NIRCam imaging admits a wide range of brightnesses and morphologies
for these candidates, suggesting a more diverse galaxy population may be
underlying this rare view of a strongly-lensed galaxy overdensity.
