Hello

The digital inputs on the Expander Pi can work with 5V sensors. Depending on the type of sensor you may find that you need to use a 10K pull-down resistor connected between the input and ground to keep the input low when the sensor is not active.

The analogue inputs can read between 0 and 4.096V so your 3.3V sensor should work ok.
