How do passages that have notes with both staccato and tenuto marks differ from unmarked notes? Is this something that makes more sense to string players than to wind players?

Hi Bennett,
There are all degrees of articulation. Clarinetists usually learn this at a later stage than trumpet players, and listening to them in your band or orchestra can be very enlightening.
Generally I would interpret a staccato plus tenuto mark to mean detached, but give the note some substance. You will probably find that physically this equates to starting the note with tongue removal and breath attach immediately followed by diminuendo.

It seems to be called 'mezzo staccato'.

Look into spiccato.
The effect of playing lines staccato with continuous single bowing motion.
Otherwise I'd prefer to call it mezzo tenuto, than mezzo staccato.
