I've got it working on my TiddlyWiki install. I've no idea if it displays nicely on IE, but you can directly type latex math commands and have them show up. e.g. http://bob.mcelrath.org/tiddlyjsmath.html Have you looked at jsMath?

I don't know what's in style.css but you probably want to use a CSS reset. IE7 is being replaced by IE8, so it wouldn't be terrible to not bother with it. People aren't stuck with 7 like they are with IE6. And we have a shiny new Firefox 3.5 waiting for you over here. I don’t see any character issues with IE8-as-IE7, so no help there.

I imagine that the font Firefox uses has bad size information, and IE is just being stupid as usual, although you could try and use the actual characters in your XHTML instead of the entities. (A quick Python script would do the job of replacing one for the other rather nicely.) Works presumably as intended for me on Firefox 3, Kubuntu Hardy (8.04).
