Well I wouldn't worry about the fact that your phone can't find Sync on your PC. That's common. If you haven't, make sure you have the latest version from HTC. The link on the Simple root thread should take you to HTC.
I would still try to run Simple root.
As far as adb goes, I've heard that Vista will sometimes DL the drivers needed but wont install them correctly. One work-around is to do multiple reboots of the PC and device, reconnecting the phone after each reboot.
Another option may be try to manually update drivers from device manager.
