Not sure about any in-depth comparisons though a few probably exist on the internet. The major differences I remember are:

The main message: In the dub, the message is "fighting is wrong" which is kinda hypocritical in a show that is ENTIRELY about fighting and how fighting makes the people and pokemon grow and become better and stronger and happier. I mean, yeah, it meant "fighting to the death is wrong" but the distinction wasn't really explored enough to work as a good main message. In the sub, the main message is "all life no matter where it comes from (eg, whether born or cloned) is equal."

Mewtwo: In the dub he's a lot more sane, confident, and clear about his objectives and opinions. In the sub he's very confused and rather childlike, he mainly wants to lash out at humans and human trainers because he's so angry and traumatized by what happened to him. His personality is also somewhat different.

The Intro: A good bit longer and more explicitly talks about death in Japanese

I've only ever seen the dub but the "all life is equal" moral was most certainly in there, Mewtwo outright says it

ayrt

Yes, he says it at the end, but during the main part of the movie, and the big fight scene before Ash's sacrifice, the focus is all on how terrible it is that the pokemon are fighting. Which does make sense in context, but isn't exactly a moral that fits that particular story or villain very well.

I think you're referring to an intro that appears in the extras of the Dub release. I think it was cut for time restrictions in the full movie but even on the VHS, it appears at the end of the credits. You mean the one about the clones and the scientist's daughter right?
