If \addto works for you, OK.
Your addtocontents command seems broken, as the full context
of the error indicates;
[... (Sample.toc
! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
I'm sorry, I haven't much time to go through your coding
of the part redefinition. I use simpler tricks and I would try:
\newcommand{\tocpart}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\protect\numberline
{}#1}\markboth{\textsc{#1}}{\textsc{#1}}\thispagestyle{plain}}
\newcommand{\partstar}[1]{\part*{#1}\tocpart{#1}}
Then create a layout for command partstar
