For/Backward-sexp works always. A "sexp" is a "balanced expression." I do not understand this concept completely, but as examples I've seen it work over {} and [] and () balanced blocks, as long as the point is at the block but outside of it. If there is none such, the sexp is a word, because it's "balanced" by white space or punctuation? In any case some movement happens.
For/Backward-list moves over the block *plus* the characters between the point and the end or beginning of the block. When inside a block, it produces an error, at least in TeX code -- which I really do not like.
