Yes - tagging is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than bookmarks!! Tags in a PDF are directly integrated with the content on a page (see ISO 32000-1, 14.6, 14.7 and 14.8) and because of that, you know exactly what the content that is associated with a tag is. iText can be used to get the contents between the tags. HOWEVER, you still need to then compute the "bounding box" of that content - and iText has no capabilities in that areas as it pretty much requires an almost complete rendering engine to do so).
What are you trying to accomplish by finding those bounds?

It's obviousely a Tag and when I check "Mark content" (or similar) under Options the small window, click the entry "Inhaltsverzeichnis" Acrobat goes to this text and shows a blue box around this text. the PSDF was created with (structured) FrameMaker. Can you give us some hints how Acrobat does this? Is 1T3XT's (Bruno's) assumption near reality?
