The Navajo and Hopi are modern people who both live in the American Southwest but are very different in many ways. They speak completely unrelated languages for example. We don't know what the Anasazi spoke. Probably several languages in different families. The Navajo have borrowed some ideas from the Hopi. The ancient Hopi lived at the same time as the now gone Anasazi, shared many cultural traits and probably some of the Hopi clans are descended from Anasazi groups. Some Navajo clans are probably from Anasazi groups too.
As a whole it is very hard to say what they did and do that is "unusual". That depends on what you think is usual.

Who was the chief of the Anasazi tribe?
Anasazi is a Navajo word for a native american group (not one tribe) that existed in the area before the Navajo and experienced a serious population decline before Europeans arrived. So they existed for many thousands of years. Their descendants are most likely the Hopi, so the culture of the so called Anasazi was probably similar to that of modern day Hopi. So when the Navajo arrived and called them Anasazi they probably called themselves Hopi as they do now.
Did the Anasazi tribe travel by mule?
No, there were no horses, donkeys, or mules in the Americas when the Anasazi existed as a group (named by the Navajo who were new arrivals and at war with them), The Anasazi abandoned their large cliff dwelling due to climate shift, and it is believed their modern descendants are the Hopi and other Pueblo tribes still living in the area. They never referred to themselves as "Anasazi"!
What tribe were thought to be descendants of the Anasazi?
The Hopi and the Pueblos.
Did the Hopi Indians have any allies or rivals?
The Hopi people were generally peaceful people but they were often raided by the larger neighboring tribe, the Navajo.
How do the Navajo differ from the hopi?
It is thought that the Navajo learned to grow corn beans and squash from the Hopi and other Pueblo people and from their ancestors, the Anasazi. Corn has been central to Navajo life for as long as they have been Navajo and not like other southern Athabascan peoples. It is also thought that Navajo learned to weave cotton from the Hopi and the same other groups. Among the Hopi men are weavers and among the Navajo mostly women weave. The Navajo then adapted this to weaving wool after the late 1500s and elaborated the designs to reflect Navajo philosophy. By the 1700s their weaving was famous and valued with tribes far away in the northern Great Plains

Why do you think the Navajo learns certain custom from the Hopi rather than from the Pima?
The Navajo lived near the Hopi on the high Colorado Plateau and still do. The ancestors of today's Navajo arrived in the high desert area when the Hopi and Anasazi were farming there. They learned dry-land corn, beans and squash agriculture and weaving from the Hopi and other Pueblo groups. One could say that this is when the Navajo became Navajo and different from other Athabaskan people. This happened around 900 to 110 years ago according to Navajo traditional stories and modern archeology. Also, many of the Navajo clans have roots in Hopi and other Pueblo people. From the Navajo clan stories and names it seems that about 36 out of 72 clans have origins in one woman or man from an other tribal group who married in to the Navajo. This is in part because for the Navajo to marry into any of the four clans of one's grandparents (or related clans) is considered incest. Therefore there is pressure to out marry. A further reason is that after the Pueblo revolt of 1680 some people fled to and joined the Navajo, some permanently some for a while. Also, After the Hopi destroyed the Hopi village of Awatovi in 1700 some of the survivors fled and joined the Navajo in the Chinle valley area as well. The Pima (Akimel O'odham is their own name), live far to the south in low land deserts. The Akimel O'odham are thought to be descended from the Hohokam (which means "The Ancestors"). They were a sophisticated people who practiced irrigated agriculture for hundreds of years in what is now the greater Phoenix area centered on the Gila and Salt river basins. They traded with the Hopi, Anasazi, Mogollon and later the Navajo peoples but were pretty far away both in distance, culture and environment..
