What are you looking for exactly? "block size" or "sector size"?
I don't know what you mean by "blockize sector size".

"First block" and "lengths in blocks" is not a disk specific information.
They depend on the partitioning scheme.
"Sector size" however ist disk specific, it is static and does not change.
When you are talking about "blocks" you probably mean "cluster".

If testdisk does not show cluster or sector information it's because this partition information is missing.
You can have testdisk search for partitions.

If you change your tool to work on a disc using "pdisk" the underlying base problems remain the same - unfortunately.
