Hmm... I cannot seem to find where the rules regarding mount sizes are.
Does my mount have to be exactly one size category larger than myself, or was that at least one size category?
As BBT says, it is at least.
The 'Fast Mount or Dismount' action from the ride skill specifies that it cannot be used with a mount more than one size larger than you. As such, riding in generel can be done with the larger mount.
While it isn't proporly defined, I would rule that mount more than one size category larger than you, count as ill suited, thus granting -5 on ride checks.

Hmm... question is, am I still able to attack from a mount much larger than myself? (using an extreme example: picturing a halfling fighter riding the Tarrasque and still merrily delivering a bunch of Kukri attacks appears a tad... odd to me)

Depends on where on the Tarrasque he is riding.
In dnd, ponies cannot be used by medium creatures (they are meant for halfling cavalry). I have always laughed at that. The mongols rode ponies, as did other horse archer peoples. My wife rode a pony months ago. She isn't a gigantic medium, being just over 5 feet and light, but is a medium by the rules and the pony was not troubled by her weight.
Scrap the rule, the makers didn't know much about riding.
