Syncing between your computer's Outlook application & your windows phone tasks, contacts, and schedule is a fundamental use for windows mobile devices and has been supported since the very first pocket pc.
If you want more functionality than what the mobile tasks application provides, you might want to look at some 3rd party software task software that uses the task database on your windows phone (so the data will still sync to your computer), but provides a more powerful user experience. If you google "to do list windows mobile" you may find some interesting options to explore.
I've used
Agenda Fusion for several years to manage my contacts, appointments and tasks on my windows mobile devices. The tasks module of this software includes a projects option which allows me to roll up tasks into projects, which allows me to categorize and sub-categorize my tasks. These projects do not sync to Outlook on my computer, but I prefer to work with my tasks on my handheld, so that's really not a big deal to me.
