It does, however, parse/lint/etc more or less as you type and as you pointed out highlight any errors. If the red underline is not working for you, you can change it to say bright purple background with a strikethrough and a larger font, or whatever, in the preferences. I find myself using the "jump to method" (cmd-f12 in my keybindings, though I am sure mine do not align with the defaults nowadays) for seeing an outline-like view of the class. It just does methods, not fields, but I have yet to miss fields. There is of course an outline view, but I have no idea if it can be revealed or hidden by a key binding.

Also note that IntelliJ has an open-source Community Edition version. It doesn't include all of the features (Spring and Struts are not available with it, for example), but it suits most of the reasons why people would want the source code of their IDE.
