Since Mathematica is dealing with the curves directly, it probably simply translates the equations into a vector, which can then be handled by Postscript native elements, and likewise, TeX. You can definitely make this better by increasing the resolution. I would suggest 300DPI as a starting point.

No. Basically what happens when you import an EPS file into GIMP is that it gets rasterized, since Gimp can only handle pixel based images. So Gimp is the wrong tool to edit EPS files. You might want to try to use pstoedit and then use e.g. inkscape or SVG to edit the result.
