JSDoc is TypeScript

jsdoc is nice because you don’t have to write the non-helpful types.

In WebStorm, jsdoc can be rendered in HTML, which makes the code easier to scan. Here's a side-by-side VSCode vs WebStorm:

And in jsdoc you can have an inline description:

  @prop {number} width  Video width in pixels

This entirely depends on your tsconfig setup. You can run a JSDoc-typed project in strict mode exactly the same way you would a *.ts-typed project.

Do you know if it's possible to do that the other way around?

You mean a TypeScript project without strict mode? Sure. Again, whether you're defining types in JSDoc comments or in .ts files, the behavior is entirely governed by a tsconfig file
