Adding thrust for pitch up works wonders when in trim condition not in that scenario.
You need to get back to the speed at which it was in trim,reduce thrust which will allow the elevators more control over the jammed stab.(less manual force required).
I've not read the rest of the thread so forgive me if this has been answered already but you're not exactly right.
As a 737 air tester it is standard to brief the use of power to recover from an out of trim nose low attitude. Especially in a low speed scenario it is one of the first things I would consider (and it works) if my primary pitch control isn't as effective as it should be.
Reducing thrust with an aircraft out of trim nose down is the last thing you want to do.
