The Spartans did not win the Battle of Thermopylae. What the Spartans did do was hold back the invading army of Xerxes for a long enough time to allow Xerxes to do some serious thinking about what he might be getting himself into and it allowed the rest of the Greek States to get their stuff together to stave off total subjugation by the Persians.

Why did the very different cultures of Athens and Sparta from an alliance?

They formed an alliance because they wanted to rebel against the Persians. Athens had all the brains and Sparta had all the war like abilities. Athens needed someone that was good in war. Even though Athens had a strong army it was still too small to over ride the Persian Empire. The Persians were a common enemy for Athens and Sparta. They both had something in common; liking the Persians. So the more people Athens had in their army the more likely it is for Athens to win. In the end Athens does win the war against the Persians but there are many more wars the Athenians and the Persians have had against each other.
