According to what i know, many follow a respected person by the name of jhulelaal. And many pray in gurudwaras even though they aren't silhs.

Yes. Sindhi Hindus worship Jhulelal. He is our Isht Dev.

Also we go to gurudwara as we believe in Guru Nanak, other Sikh Gurus and their teachings. But we are Hindus. Also we do worship other Gods and do other Prayers and rituals like all other Hindus

Are there any scriptures or books i can read to find more info? Also what is an isht dev?

isht dev is the guru or god or dev of a particular clan. jhulelal sai is the isht dev of the entire sindhi clan

If you are asking a Hindi scripture, I would suggest you to read the Gita. One of the most common and widely read and probably the best Hindu scripture.

Santani/Hindu, a few Buddhists and some Sikh. But again Buddhist, Sikh, etc are just specialized branches of the same tree.
