Answer 1

Let Yii worry about joining your tables. Your relations looks fine so you should be able to access them directly
For example, what does this return?
foreach ($rows as $task)
{
if ( isset($task->prj_user) )
echo $task->prj_user->username . "<br>";
}
Or this?
this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'dataProvider'=>new CActiveDataProvider('Task'),
'columns'=>array(
'id',
'prj_user.username',
'prj_user.title',
'prj_user.roles',
)
));
->with() is used for eager loading, so at this point you probably don't need it. In fact, unless I misread you completely, you can remove your criteria all together.
