I had forgotten about Display Suite.  It turned out to be pretty simple to create both layouts with DS.  For the block, I just had to specify a default argument of the nid from the URL, create it as a DS field, and add it to my display.  For the list page, I just created the layout as a custom build mode, and then set that build mode as the row style in the view.  DS is pretty impressive.

Thanks.

If you work with field display in views, just provide the necessary fields for each item. Then click on theme information to get the available template files for the view and choose the one where you can layout the fields.

Alternatively I think you could also use http://drupal.org/project/ds, see also http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode40 and http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode41 if you prefer to achieve this layout via an interface instead of code.
