have you gotten this to work?  I'm having trouble on a similar project; I am
also using vtkIterativeClosestPoint to register a point cloud to a surface,
and I also need to make distance measurements.  If it matters at all, my
surface was created with vtkMarchingCubes.  I used vtkMaskPoints with
GenerateVerticesOn to get to vertices, is this what you did?
