The GeoCharts are drawn with VML in IE 7 and 8 instead of SVG, which is why they work slightly differently. You can try to work some CSS magic with IE 7 and 8 to get the effect you want, though. Here's a bit of code to get you started: http://jsfiddle.net/asgallant/82TYA/. This changes the mouse cursor on hover instead of changing the map elements, but it can likely be adapted for your needs.
The magnifying glass is likely never going to be implemented in older versions of IE. As of now, you can remove data from the tooltips by setting the formatted values of the data to empty strings. A recent addition to the Geochart options documentation leads me to believe that there might be an option coming soon that will allow you to turn off the values in the tooltip, but it isn't active yet (and it's not in the current RC either).
