Markup and rendering+typography should be orthogonal issues.

Does TeX semantics have something that MathML does not yet have?

MathJax works with both MathML and TeX. Is there difference in the rendering when using different markup with MathJax?

It does not. In fact MathML captures much richer information than TeX.

There shouldn’t be. MathJax internally converts TeX input into an intermediate MathML AST before rendering.
