Are the different languages used for doing different tasks...or doing same task differently

A bit of both. HTML is for document-type files. CSS adds style to them. Languages like JavaScript and Python are scripting languages, meaning they are typically good for small projects. Languages like C are compiled, meaning they are better for larger projects. Languages like C++ and Java are object oriented compiled languages, meaning they revolve around creating and manipulating custom objects (typically in the form of classes)

It would be like you want to have an array of humans. Each human has traits like hair colour, height, weight, etc. As well as actions they can perform: run, jump, walk. An object would be creating the "human" class that lets you bundle all those functionalities together.

Really just how it sounds. If it's going to be a little mobile game or just something you run to filter spam mail, a scriot is pretty nice. But if you're running the program often (or constantly, operating systems are programs too) or the scope is large, you want it to be efficient as possible. Scripts aren't very good at this because the computer needs to interpret (translate to machine language) them as they go. But if you compile the code, boom, machine language. It takes far fewer resources to run.
