%{ ... } is a run time expansion

  %{config: } and %{client: } are xlat functions, with their arguments 
starting after the :

${ ... } is an expansion which happens once at server startup and looks 
for a site option which is a child of the client option.

So - they are completely different purposes, hence the different syntax.

Your final implementation of

Tunnel-Private-Group-ID := "%{config:sites.%{client:site}.remote}"

is looking up the config item of sites.<n>.remote

where <n> is the "site" config item found in the client for the current request.

The expansion will work from the inside out - so first %{client:site} 
will be expanded, then it's result will be used to build the config 
structure that is going to be looked up.
