This kind of limitation is one of the thing I hate from using Apple Devices and iTunes.
What's the point of having mobile device if you need to connect and sync them over and over again to a laptop/pc only to remove unwanted things from it.
Best photo organizer App?

You don't. You only need to use iTunes to remove photo albums if you used it to add them.
Otherwise use a different solution to add and view photos. There are several, many with better album features than the Photos app.
There are features that are difficult to get without iTunes, yes, but you do not have to use it. There is almost always a third party app that will let you do what you want, if not always as conveniently.

If they are not in the DCIM folder, or a subfolder within, then they've been synced via iTunes. Normally that means they are already on your computer.
If not, I usually use PhotoSync (no hyphen). This and the companion software for the computer will transfer photo between devices and computers. There are other methods, but I'm not familiar with them.
Hold in mind that photos synced via iTunes are usually of lesser quality than the originals that were on the computer. Retrieving photos from albums in the Photos app is a poor second choice from finding the originals.
Unless you're looking at the Photo Stream. That's a different kettle of fish. I know they can be synced via iCloud to a Windows computer (Vista or newer), but I don't know the details of how. I have a Mac. Otherwise you can save each one you care about to the camera roll in Photos on the iPad, then use the DCIM folder to copy them to the computer.
