I do not think you can install Latex on Pythonista. Maybe you could send the text to an online service for compilation, either via screen scraping or the Common Latex Service Interface CLSI. Based on a quick Google, screen scraping is probably much easier.

But you will not be able to do this in the UI editor alone.

You can use webview and mathjax to display latex. Here is an example to display matrix.
