So the new Apple Music feature is that if you tap to any part of the lyrics it takes you to that part of the song, is there a way to do that with MP3TAG? Thanks.

No, there isn't. MP3tag supports the field UNSYNCEDLYRICS.

Which format does Apple use, though? I assume a standard textual subtitle format as is common in MP4 videos. (Itʼs treated as a separate video-like track, not a tag, therefore I would never expect Mp3tag to add support for subtitles.)

See e.g. Wikipedia:
