To call methods on a block, you have to make sure two things:

the block exists, when you try to call a method on it.
you use the name of the block.

e.g. here:

<catalog_category_default translate="label">
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.products" template="catalog/category/view.phtml">
            <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
            ...

The name is product_list not catalog_product_list. And in the layered_navigation block it is product_list too, so change the reference and it should work

Your reference is name is wrong.
Also the reference name depends on the page you are viewing.
Here is how your layout file should look.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <catalog_category_default>
        <reference name="product_list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalog_category_default>

    <catalog_category_view>
        <reference name="product_list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalog_category_view>

    <catalog_category_layered>
        <reference name="product_list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalog_category_layered>

    <catalog_product_compare_index>
        <reference name="catalog.compare.list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalog_product_compare_index>

    <catalogsearch_result_index>
        <reference name="search_result_list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalogsearch_result_index>

    <catalogsearch_advanced_result>
        <reference name="search_result_list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalogsearch_advanced_result>

    <tag_product_list>
        <reference name="search_result_list">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </tag_product_list>

    <tag_customer_view>
        <reference name="customer_view">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </tag_customer_view>

    <default>
        <reference name="cart_sidebar">

        <reference name="catalog_product_price_template">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </default>

    <catalog_product_view>
        <reference name="catalog.product.related">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </catalog_product_view>
    <PRODUCT_TYPE_simple>
        <reference name="product.info.upsell">
             <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </PRODUCT_TYPE_simple>
    <checkout_cart_index>
        <reference name="checkout.cart.crosssell">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </checkout_cart_index>
    <PRODUCT_TYPE_bundle translate="label" module="bundle">
        <reference name="product.info.bundle"> 
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType only for bundle here-->
        </reference>
        <reference name="product.clone_prices">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType only for bundle here-->
        </reference>
    </PRODUCT_TYPE_bundle>
    <rss_catalog_category>
        <reference name="rss.catalog.category">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </rss_catalog_category>
    <rss_catalog_new>
        <reference name="rss.catalog.new">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </rss_catalog_new>
    <rss_catalog_tag>
        <reference name="rss.catalog.tag">
            <!-- your addPriceBlockType methods here-->
        </reference>
    </rss_catalog_tag>
</layout>

I hope I've covered all the cases. Good luck.

Magento – magento2 toolbar.phtml issue-not overriding

You don't need to add any xml at all if you just want to override the file out-rightly. All you need to do is copy the file over to your theme and then make the changes in the newly copied file.

So you should copy the file to:

app/design/frontend/Company_Name/Theme_Name/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list/toolbar.phtml

Hope this helps.
