Here's a first cut at the answer, based on having Word 5.0 and reading some 
reviews (which I don't have handy)--so more knowledgeable answers are welcome! 
Mathtype definitely allows you to double-click the equation to edit it, and I 
think Expressionist has a drop-in module that also allows it. I think there are 
some differences in whether you have to launch Exp. first, or some minor 
feature like that. Note that a limited version of MathType comes as part of 
Word 5 (I think what is omitted is the export in TeX and some palettes).

Yes, both programs will allow you to export the equation in TeX format.
