A couple of things you might want to double-check here: 1) do you have
tag inheritance turned on and 2) are the relevant TODO subheadings
nested beneath the level 1 heading tagged "project"?

That said, it's probably easier to tag the whole file by placing a
filetags declaration at the top of the file:

#+FILETAGS: project

I find the easiest way to filter todos by tags is to use "/" within
the agenda view. That is, hit C-c a t to get a list of all todos, then
type "/" and the tag to filter the todo list.

Sorry I can't help you here. Windows machines are a foreign country to
me.
