Let the Right One In eschews all of the vampire mythology and just focuses on the relationship between two characters. Also, there is an element of a revenge story.
Twilight is steeped in vampire mythology (and werewolves, too), and includes themes of teenage angst/love along with (Mormon) undertones about overcoming one's nature and chastity. Let the Right One In has none of that.
Yes, both movies have students befriending vampires, but the complications you mention are nothing alike.
