AUCTeX basically uses the prettify-symbols setup from the builtin latex
mode.  I don't know what you mean with repositioning the height of
sub/superscripts.  AUCTeX (font-latex.el) allows to fontify them as such
even on multiple levels, e.g., x^y^z.

AUCTeX font-lock implementation heavily relies on the information
gathered by AUCTeX's parsing abilities and its style files, so I guess,
no.
