There is no <latexmath> element in DocBook. However, you can have the same
functionality with equation (for block formulas) or inlineequation (inside a
paragraph). For example, an inline equation of Einsteins famous formula could
look like:
<inlineequation>
<mathphrase role="latex">E = mc^2</mathphrase>
</inlineequation>

Sure. In theorey, it needs a three step process: extract all LaTeX formulas,
convert it to MathML (or maybe graphics?), and reinsert it -- or include a
reference.
How many formulas do you have? Do they change frequently? Well, maybe you
don't need such a sophisticated convertion. Perhaps you could reference your
MathML formulas with xi:include and do the convertion outside your workflow.
Get some ideas by reading Bob's chapter about Math in DocBook at

Hope this helps. :)
