[@Guardian Angel Haruki] For the sake of my mental image when I write my introduction, has Voth wandered out of the mist essentially behind the group, within a matter of steps of them?
Or has he simply exited somewhere nearby, at a distance better measured in yards?

I would say it's the former: Essentially behind the group.

At first, I would say he was enough of a distance behind the party for them to not notice. But when they began to enter the mists and how Oskarr got separated from the party, Voth realized that he needed to stay close to the party in order to not get turned around and sent back to Hither.
