Yes.

They work on modern browsers on all platforms. We have sample pages on the
web site, so you can point whatever browser you want at them to test before
you buy.

Not very. However, if someone went through the resulting page adding ALT
attributes with some kind of text for the equation (e.g. "x^2 + 3"), that
might help. I've not tried to do this, though. Clearly, if the math is very
complicated it isn't going to work well.
