How can I configure a local fallback for the CDN?

You might want to read this thread

<script src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>
<script>window.MathJax || document.write('<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">MathJax.Hub.Config({"HTML-CSS":{imageFont:null }});<\/script>
<script src="<<PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_MATHJAX>>MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML-full"><\/ script>')</script>

Are there any fundamental differences between MathJax TeX input and TeX/LaTeX?

There aren't many, but here's one discussion .

Examples:

• \sqrt\frac{3}{4} doesn't work. Enclosing the argument in curly braces works \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}
• \hat \mathbf u works in article, not in amsart (or MathJax) -- \hat{\mathbf u} works in amsart and MathJax.

How do I show MathJax menu on double-click?

Here's a thread discussing it and here's code that might help you get started.

How do I re-size text when the browser falls back to image fonts?

See this thread but note that there are very few reasons why your browser might fall back to image fonts for rendering -- be sure to check the FAQ
