a) Hard disks have sector sizes... filesystems may have cluster sizes.
AFAIK PC hardware always uses 512 byte sector sizes.

b) The following command extracts data from a filesystem superblock...
as long as the superblock is okay, the command output should be okay:

  # dumpe2fs -h /dev/hdb5 | grep "Block size"
