I think his father was Ashkenazi.  I don't know where I heard it from.  Who knows for sure?

Well, it was for a reason that he was mixed.  That's how the Rav got the bravery and guts of the Sefaradim and the mental intellect and creativity of the Ashkenazim.   :)

Technically Askenaz (because it goes by the father and the wife takes on the husbands tradition, and customs).

I know his father was originally from Tzfas, but that doesn't say whether he was Ashkenazi or Sephardi.  (You normally follow the customs of the father)

On the one hand, R' Kahane went to the Mirrer Yeshiva, which is an Ashkenazi Yeshiva, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if he wore a hat when he davened...

Does Rebbetzin Kahane speak about it in her book?

Part of the point is that its a pointless division, just like all the different denominations of Judaism in Poland fought each other. We can follow the customs we choose without being labeled and separated.

What is the difference between Askhenazi to Sefaradim? I mean besides Geographical that one came from Europe and the others in either some Arabian or Persian countries?

Is there a different custom?  I ask this cause I wouldn't know cause I am not Jewish.

Sefardic Jews mainly derive from the Jewish population in Babylon that started from the time of the First Exile.

Ashkenazi Jews mainly derive from the Jewish population of Eretz Yisrael that was dispersed from the time of the Second Exile.

What if let's say, a convert marries a Mizrahi Jew? What customs and tradition does the family take?

Why should it matter?

 
If you're unable to answer this, then the thread is pointless.
