Can I practice law in the US with an LLB?

Yes you can, but only through very specific routes. If you study law in the UK you will get an LLB, which is not a qualifying law degree for the bar in most US states (except New York). TLDR: Get a JD after your LLB or work in a firm with US offices in the UK and eventually move across the pond.
