I do not use TeX, but I regularly run non-fullscreen applications
in an Emacs shell window, with emacsclient as my default editor.
When emacsclient is invoked, Emacs neatly opens a window for
editing; \ gets rid of the window and sends the buffer to the
application.

I have occasionally used Emacs' terminal-mode for running full-screen
applications, with emacsclient as my editor. Occasionally this works,
but there are too many fullscreen applications that require a full
24x80 screen (terminal-mode is 22x78 or similar) and/or require a
real terminal type, like VT100. Running on a Sun with variable sized
windows solves the first problem; as for the second, a terminal
emulator that emulates a terminal, instead of screaming about 
non-use of termcaps, has been on my list of things to do for a while.
