I think this is a good question. We might say that in the second sentence we have no "reference point" in mind and we are just dealing with the distance itself.

yes, at a distance is seen as a point. At can be a point in time and place: at 8 O´clock or at the doctor´s. From refers to distance. It is simply a matter of perspective.
