Can a non-muslim go to a mosque during prayers? If so, how should they behave?

Yes.
 
Treat it like you were visiting a library, except you should keep it clean by taking off your shoes.  Ensure you do not walk in front of someone who is praying.  And if you are a lady, try to cover your beauty to avoid distracting the worshippers.  Other than that - welcome!

I took my brother into a mosque just to show him around - and he asked if he could join in with the prayers (he was agnostic at the time).  I said "of course" just follow what i do (actions are a bit like yoga).  I suppose he wanted to fully immerse himself into the experience.  Very open minded approach
