ListTools and ListToolboxes are designed to display the toolboxes that have been loaded into the arcpy site package (i.e. tools that are setup to load by default, such as the out-of-the-box ArcGIS tools and tools loaded via a call to the arcpy.ImportToolbox function). This workflow works for me using the arcpy.da.Walk method, but it appears that if you specify the datatype as Toolbox it will not locate the toolboxes stored within a geodatabase. I've listed the logic I used below for you to review. You should see that the first two options return all toolboxes within a directory except for those that exist within a geodatabase structure. I believe this is what you're seeing. My third example shows how I get around this and list all of the toolboxes regardless if they're a file on disk or stored within the geodatabase structure. import arcpy import os import uuid # First Option def LocateToolboxes1(workspace):     walk = arcpy.da.Walk(workspace, datatype="Toolbox")     for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in walk:            for filename in filenames:             print(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))             # Second Option def LocateToolboxes2(workspace):     walk = arcpy.da.Walk(workspace, datatype="Toolbox")     for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in walk:            if (dirpath.endswith(".tbx")):             print("TBX: {0}".format(dirpath))                         alias = arcpy.ValidateFieldName(str(uuid.uuid4()).split("-")[-1])             arcpy.ImportToolbox(dirpath, alias)                         for tool in arcpy.ListTools("*_{0}".format(alias)):                 print("...TOOL: {0}".format(tool))                     # Third Option def LocateToolboxes3(workspace):     walk = arcpy.da.Walk(workspace)     for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in walk:              tbxPaths = []                 if (dirpath.endswith(".tbx")):             tbxPaths.append(dirpath)                     elif (dirpath.endswith(".gdb")):             for dirname in dirnames:                 tbxPath = os.path.join(dirpath, dirname)                 if (arcpy.Describe(tbxPath).dataType == "Toolbox"):                     tbxPaths.append(tbxPath)                 if (tbxPaths == []):             continue                 for tbxPath in tbxPaths:             print("TBX: {0}".format(tbxPath))             alias = arcpy.ValidateFieldName(str(uuid.uuid4()).split("-")[-1])             arcpy.ImportToolbox(tbxPath, alias)                     for tool in arcpy.ListTools("*_{0}".format(alias)):                 print("...TOOL: {0}".format(tool))                      if __name__ == '__main__':     tbxFolder = r"C:\Users\Freddie\Desktop\Toolboxes"         print("### OPTION 1 ###")     LocateToolboxes1(tbxFolder)         print("\n### OPTION 2 ###")     LocateToolboxes2(tbxFolder)         print("\n### OPTION 3 ###")     LocateToolboxes3(tbxFolder) ...

It looks like everything is installed just fine on your machine. You should be able to use one of the options shown in your screenshot to build an ArcObjects COM component. Are you not able to use one of these templates to build your custom component? For example, the following page would walk you through how to create a button.
