Hello,

No. What is inside a math snippet/environment is a black box for Org.
Entities are a different beast that do not require a math environment
(e.g., "\alpha" is not considered to be LaTeX code).

I don't think so. No fontification at all on LaTeX code is a decent
default in an Org buffer. Additional, exact, fontification for it is
a nice bonus.

No it wouldn't, because Org would still have to fontify sub/superscript
outside math snippets. Of course, dedicated fontification could override
leaked one, but I think this would be troublesome in some occasions.

At some point, I hope to introduce the parser in the fontification
process, which would some the problem.
