I know for sharpening purposes, it’s best to sharpen an image the size it is going to print. But is the same true for white balance/color corrections, contrast and tonal adjustments?

Not in the same way. Color adjustments are not size dependent, but you may well want to have a slightly different look for the same image printed large and small – take advantage of the relative merits of each size of reproduction. For instance, you may want to have a slightly contrastier image for something printed the size of a business card and emphasize more of the intricate highlight and shadow detail for a poster of the same image.
