Yes, but highly adapted and interpreted, enough to be unrecognizable to a Jew. The Passover meal was obviously transformed into the Christian Eucharist, with a very different meaning applied. Baptism was a custom among some Jewish sects. The closest modern Jewish equivalent is the mikvah. Christians hijacked the Hebrew scriptures, finding and layering new interpretations on Jewish "prophecies". The one, true God developed a split personality. The nascent, Greek-influenced, 1st Century Jewish concept of an afterlife was accepted and expanded by Christians into a full-fledged post-mortem judicial process. It all seems like a natural progression from the Christian side of the mirror, but to Jews it all looks backwards and upside-down.

Many Christian independently practice Jewish traditions,
The main reason that I can think of is that Jesus was Jewish. Therefore, if we wish to be more like him, it is important to do the same things.
Also, it is more biblically accurate to follow Jewish practices, such as Keeping Saturday Holy (Saturday being the biblical Sabbath), (it is one of the 10 commandments for that matter).

Yes, most of them! We share love and worship to the same God. It's the same writings. The NT didn't erase the OT it only added to it. I'm not Jewish so that means I'm a gentile. That no way implies that I am exempt from the Law of God. Or that I can create my own traditions and customs for worshiping Him. Christ taught us both the correct way.

Montheism is the obvious one. The Ten commandments are another.
Seventh day adventists keep the Sabbath on the same day and like the Jews (i.e no electricity, work, etc).

Notice who is answering, Christians so want to link themselves to us it is humorous.
To answer your question regarding practices, not really not in any broad sense that you couldn't also relate to any other faith. As far as beliefs go you can attempt to link their triune god with our concept of monotheism but it really doesn't float. Then there are the commandments, we have 613 they have ten which were shortened to two I believe.

We still follow the Jewish carpenter-JESUS CHRIST, who followed/obeyed the TEN COMMANDMENTS. Who did his fathers will, see garden of gethsemane.
Saved by the blood of the LAMB OF GOD.
The jews before JESUS were also saved by the blood of the LAMB OF GOD.
Jesus was the LAMB OF GOD in human flesh.
