Why do the fleeing Jews take the hinges off the door frames in movies like Schindler's List and Defiance?

They are not door frames. They are called Mezuzah (in Hebrew, mezuzah means doorpost), and are a Jewish tradition.The sanctity of the Jewish home is symbolized by the Mezuzah, a small scroll affixed at the doorpost of every Jewish home, and in every room therein. What does the Mezuzah contain? It contains the two Biblical passages in which mention is made of this important commandment:"And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house and upon thy gates."The verses are Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21.

Why could Jesuses sacrifice link to sacrificing a lamb during the Jewish Passover festival?

John the Baptist calls Jesus the 'lamb of God'. - Joh 1:29. Here Jesus is being directly likened to the passover lamb. The passover lamb had to be perfect with out blemish. Jesus was born without sin, he lived a sinless life. The passover lamb had to die and it's blood was shed to save Israel's first born from death. In the same way it was necessary for Jesus to die as payment for sin. The lamb's blood had to be painted on the the door frames to show God the people were trusting Him for salvation. Salvation is the same today through faith in Jesus and His death as the payment for our sin.
