There is a tradition, at the Passover seder (the festive meal that launches the weeklong festival of Passover) and at Yom Kippur (the day of atonement), of wearing white, and more particularly, of wearing a white kittel, a simple white robe also used as a burial garment. Also, Jewish men usually wear a tallit (prayer shawl) during daytime prayers, and a kippah (yarmulke or beany) worn during all prayers and sometimes all day. Aside from this, Jews do not wear special clothing during festivals. Except, perhaps, the minor feast of Purim. At that feast, it is traditional to get silly. Just about any costume is sensible or even expected then.

No. Tefillin are not worn on holidays, including Shavuot, or on the Sabbath.

Feast of Weeks (Shavuot)
Shavuot, in early June.
The cultural dresses are worn are Diwali which are called salwaar kameez, pajami suit, pajama suit. There is one last one and it's called langa.
Shavuot ("Weeks"), seven weeks after Passover.
New clothes are worn on Diwali. They wear ethnic clothes.
Shavuot is recognized as a festival by all branches of Judaism, Orthodox, Reform, Conserviative. However, of the three pilgrimage festivals, it is the most frequently ignored. (Despite the good food, since cheesecake is a traditioinal food for Shavuot.) I have been to Orthodox synagogues where hardly anyone showed up for Shavuot, and I have been to Reform synagogues that were crowded on Shavuot. Even so it is probable that more Orthodox Jews take Shavuot seriously.
The name for the Festival of Weeks in Greek was derivative from the Hebrew term for the holiday "Shavuot" and is pronounced "Ssabuot" (Σσαβουότ).
They aren't the same day. The Festival of First Fruits is Shavuot, a completely different holiday from Pesach.
