Over on another thread, we started discussing the question of changing one's ancestral minhagim (customs). When born Jews move between communities, do they change some or all of their customs to match the new communities? What sort of things change and what sort of things don't?

It depends.
My aunt moved into a largely Yemenite community (a moshav actually). They started their own minyan (and there are something like 3 minyans on the moshav).

So, suppose someone raised Ashkenazic moves to a Sephardic area, can they change to Sephardic minhag?
Also, what if an Ashkenazic Jew marries a Sephardic Jew? Do they each follow their own minhag or do they pick one to follow?
Shalom.

"Also, what if an Ashkenazic Jew marries a Sephardic Jew?"
If an askenazi woman marries a sephardi man then she would now follow many of the sephardi minhag.
And if a sephardi woman marries and askenazi man then she would take on many of the askenazi minhag.
There are exceptions to the above. If the male is a convert and the woman is multi-generations frum-from-birth some rabbis will rule that the man take the woman's minhag. Same if the man is a BT of multiple generations of assimilate Jews. In both of those situations one should talk with a rabbi.
