The main difference between Twelver and Zaydi Shi'is lies in their beliefs about the line of leadership and the Imamate. Twelver Shi'is believe in a succession of twelve Imams, with the twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, currently in occultation and expected to return as a messianic figure. In contrast, Zaydi Shi'is do not adhere to a fixed line of Imams and believe that any qualified descendant of the Prophet Muhammad can lead the community, allowing for a more flexible interpretation of leadership. This fundamental difference shapes their religious practices and theological perspectives.

Can we pray between different Mazhab?
if you are talking about the Islamic religoun, i think you could. if you live in the united states regardless of the religious sector you claim to be, we all pray in the same Masjid (Hanbali, Whabi, Hanafi, zaydi, or Shei'a). regardless of the minor differences the bases of prayer and how we pray is the same. Islam is just Islam, there should be no mazhab in Islam. (i personaly don't think there is a masjid just for Hanfi mazhab, or somthing like that, at least in the state) :) hope i helped

Why do shia pray on the turba?
Not all Shias do that. But some of us pray on it because we believe that putting our forehead on a material, which is not made directly by Allah, is a bad thing. So instead of praying directly onto the mat, we use a turba, or if there is no truba we can use paper, tissue or a leaf But Zaydi Shias dont do that. Many twelver Shias dont do that either.
What are madhhabs?
A Madhhab (مذهب) is a school of thought within a sect in Islam. The point of a madhhab is to organize the principles under which jurisprudence will be conducted.In Sunni Islam, there are four main madhhabs: Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali. Hanafi is typically considered to be the most liberal and Hanbali is typically considered to be the most conservative. All of these schools of thought are considered valid by people from other schools, although they may have disagreements over minor practices.In Shiite Islam, there are fundamental legal distinctions between the three major madhhabs, depending on how many Infallible Imams there are. These madhhabs are: Zaydi (Fiver), Ismaili (Sevener), and Ja'afari (Twelver). Unlike the Sunni Schools, there is far less mutual recognition between the Shiite schools.Smaller sects of Islam like Ibadis and Mu'tazilites lack internal disputes about schools of thought and maintain a unified school of thought.
How can Muslim convert to Ismaili?
The question as posed is nonsensical. A person in a more expansive religious group cannot convert to a smaller group within that religion. Ismaili Islam is one form of Shiite Islam. The equivalent question in another religion would be "How can a Christian convert to Catholicism?" or "How can a Theravada convert to Buddhism?" If a non-Ismaili Muslim (such as Sunni, a Zaydi Shiite, a Twelver Shiite, an Ibadi, etc.) wants to join Ismaili Islam, all they need to do is find an Ismaili congregation and join their community.
