You can retrieve multiple tasks for an automation by first retrieving the ObjectID for your automation, then filtering on that when you retrieve the Activity object, as follows:

  1. Retrieve your ObjectID:
    <Body>
        <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
            <RetrieveRequest>
                <ObjectType>Program</ObjectType>
                <Properties>Program.ObjectID</Properties>
                <Properties>Name</Properties>
                <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
                    <Property>Name</Property>
                    <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
                    <Value>[my automation name]</Value>
                </Filter>
            </RetrieveRequest>
        </RetrieveRequestMsg>
    </Body>
  1. Retrieve your activities, filtering on your ObjectID:
   <Body>
        <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
            <RetrieveRequest>
                <ObjectType>Activity</ObjectType>
                <Properties>Name</Properties>
                <Properties>Description</Properties>
                <Properties>ObjectID</Properties>
                <Properties>Step</Properties>
                <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
                    <Property>Program.ObjectID</Property>
                    <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
                    <Value>[objectid from step 1]</Value>
                </Filter>
            </RetrieveRequest>
        </RetrieveRequestMsg>
    </Body>

Curiously, it seems that both the Program and Activity object types are undocumented at the moment.
