I am a non-Sayyid. Can I wear a black turban to show that Sayyids and non-Sayyids are equal?

What does one do if one cannot get married at this time, and the only way to marry here is to approach somebody for temporary marriage through prohibited ways, like going to places of promiscuity?

Temporary marriage is a legitimate way to refrain from doing adultery, but it is impermissible to use such non-religious ways to reach it. One who does not have the means to achieve it by a legitimate way, should have patience and dependence on Almighty Allah, as He said: “And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him” (65:3).

I am a Shia woman married to a Sunni man. Can I break my fast the same time as him in Ramadan? I don't want our future children to be split between two different timings.

It is not permissible to start the fast or break it without a religious evidence; you need to practice and implement the laws of Islam as it applies to you, in accordance with the edicts given by your marji’, whatever other members of the family do. You should endeavor to teach your children the same and find a way that it does not cause friction.
