It looks like "Distance to Output Camera" from the viewport options is spitting out the info from a plane in front of the camera based on the distance from the null if it were in the center of your camera's view. If your null is centered, the values are the same from the ICETree and the viewport info.
The ICE info from the "Get Distance Between" is exactly the distance from center to center (global.kine to global.kine). I don't see a problem with using the info from ICE to feed into your DOF, you're probably going to get a more precise focus placement (I'll accept being refuted by the photographers out there :) Hope that helps!
