No, this is a complete, downloadable version.
Should I install PHP ?
Yes, MediaWiki requires at least version 5.3.2 of PHP.
Should I install MathJax ? Should I install C++? Suould I install Latex?
None of these is needed.
What versions of the software above are required for and compatible with your version of wiki?
Note that this is a release candidate for MediaWiki 1.21.0 -- it is not "my" version of the software as I've done nothing special with this. I am the release manager for MediaWiki and this is a release candidate for a normal release.
This may not be absolutely clear since I used my own server for the release instead of download.wikimedia.org. I had the release ready and didn't want to wait for someone to upload it to download.wm.o, so I put it on my own server. The next release candidate will be on download.wm.o.
Does your version of wiki support pictures in PDF and/or EPS format?
MediaWiki supports uploading PDF and EPS files with the right configuration. I haven't tried uploading EPS files, but providing thumbnails of these and the PDFs should work.

Im doubtful thumbnails of eps would just work. Pdf thumbs need an extension (pdfhandler) in order to thumbnail correctly. Uploading of both these formats should be fine on vanilla mediawiki with a small config change to add them to the allowed file types list.
