Most referencing commands/functions require you to pass in the reference node (i.e. node type is "reference"). It looks like you are trying to use a reference*d* node -- the sphere.
You can query the reference node for a reference*d* object with `referenceQuery -referenceNode ref:pSphere1`. This should give you something like sphereRN. You can then get the MObject for sphereRN, pass it to getReferenceFileByNode and it should work. I don't think this particular referenceQuery functionality is exposed in C++. It really should be. It's annoying that MFnDependencyNode has isFromReferencedFile, but doesn't give you a way to query which reference it's a part of.
