I want to summon a TNT block that will cause damage to mobs. However, I don't want it to damage or break blocks. Is there any way that I can do this?

Similar to Unionhawk's comment:
you should run three commands one after the other:
Do gamerule mobGriefing = false**
1 tick delay
Summon Creeper fuse 0 at Tnt
3 ticks delay
Do gamerule mobgriering = true

Answer 2
There's an easier solution to this, relying on the rule that immerged TNT doesn't explode blocks but do damage to entities :
- Place a water block :
setblock X Y Z minecraft:water
- Summon an instant-exploding TNT at this location :
summon minecraft:tnt X Y Z {Fuse:0}
You can remove the water block afterwards, but after a little delay, otherwise TNT would explode and destroy blocks.
