Original Title: Connect mini and late 2013 iMac
That iMac supports Target Display Mode using Thunderbolt input.
Unfortunately, Apple added restrictions on Target Display Mode such that no current or recent Mac supports using any iMac as a Target Display. Even if they had not added the restrictions, the requirement for the connection to be a Thunderbolt one would require you to spend $80+ for specialized Thunderbolt connection hardware. There is no point in tracking down, and spending money on, that hardware, given that you still would not be able to use the old iMac as a display.

The painfully restrictive hardware and OS requirements for Apple's now defunct Target Display Mode (TDM) are laid out here:
Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
As you see, nothing made after 2019 can use a TDM-supported iMac like yours as a monitor.
You cannot use the iMac as a monitor for the Mac mini.
Nope. Not happening. Sorry.
Can I connect my late 2013 iMac to a Mac mini as monitor?
