GNU Emacs won't do it. It's something like an editor and not a
spelling checker. You can use a (free) book on LaTeX in LaTeX (or
PDF) and feed it into Aspell ("spellchecking" it) so that Aspell can
learn all the LaTeX macros and commands and environment names and ...

At least the repeated words are highlighted by flyspell. I think for
everything else there is no ready to use solution.

Do you want checking or changing?
An idea for sort-of checking: To highlight those small letters, you
could add this:
(highlight-regexp "\\.[\n\r\t ]+[[:lower:]]") to your
mode hook.

Do you mean check LaTeX grammer or check the grammar of your writing?
If you are referring to LaTeX, there is lacheck, which may achieve what you
want. If your talking about your writing grammar, I don't know of anything.

Flyspell-mode will check for doubled words, coloring the second one,
as well as checking spelling on the fly.
Auto-capitalize.el will capitalize words at the beginning of a
sentence. It doesn't work properly with refill-mode but seems to do
well with longlines.el. I always have it on.
Neither of these actually checks grammar, though.
