It is an act of showing respect to our present Imam; Al-Mahdi (AS). We have in our books that Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) used to do the same when mentioning Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) who is his great grand son and was not born then.When mention our Imam Al-Mahdi (AS), we put our hands on our head out of respect to him being the divine leader of our time.
If you prayed towards the first direction after proper searching for Qibla like compass or reliable Qibla application or asking trusted Muslims in the area, or any other way to find the direction of Qibla, then you discovered that it was wrong, then you don’t need to repeat your prayers if the difference is less than 90 degrees.
It is necessary to find the correct direction of the Qiblah, and aim at praying towards it. Having a tiny room would not be a good enough excuse to not pray towards the Qiblah. You are able to push aside some furniture, or find alternative places to pray. If you are within the overall right direction of the Qiblah, that would suffice.
