Yes, there is no problem to tell ‘Happy Eid’, most of the English speaking country is wishing Eid each other telling ‘Happy Eid’. That’s a modern and good way to wish anyone on this occasion. So you can say ‘Happy Eid’.

In response, I tell the same that they have said. Sometimes, I tell ‘Khair Mubarak’ too. You need to ask about him how is he doing, how is his family, etc.

There is no specific way of it. I have seen most of the non-Muslims also tell ‘Eid Mubarak’ while they are responding to Eid’s wish. So if you are a non-Muslim person, then you can just say ‘Happy Eid Mubarak’ in response to Eid Wish.

When someone tells me ‘Eid Mubarak’ I say ‘Khair Mubarak’ in reply. That’s the best way to reply to Eid’s wishes. Even you can tell the same words that someone else is saying. Make sure you have a natural smile on your face when you are greeting each other.
