If it looks OK in MS Word and the Kindle Previewer/KindleGen generated MOBI book looks OK on an eInk Kindle, then yes.

However, a better solution would be to generate an epub first with Toxaris's Word ePub add-on. This will allow you edit your book with Sigil or Calibre Editor before compiling it with Kindle Previewer/KindleGen.

IMHO, the best solution would be to convert all complex equations to SVG or PNG images.

All current Kindle models (Kindle 3 and higher) come with the code2000 fallback font, which contains glyphs for pretty much any mathematical symbol defined in the 2006 Unicode 5.2 standard. For all other symbols you'll need to embed a font.

That depends on the HTML code that Word generates. Kindles support both ordererd and unordered lists. For example, the following HTML code works:

<h4>Unordered list</h4>

  <ul>
    <li>chaos</li>
    <li>mayhem</li>
    <li>pandemonium</li>
  </ul>

  <h4>Ordered list</h4>

  <ol>
    <li>tidiness</li>
    <li>neatness</li>
  </ol>

  <p>Random text between connected list elements.</p>

  <ol start="3">
    <li>orderliness</li>
    <li>trimness</li>
  </ol>
