The first one causes new agenda buffers to start with
org-agenda-follow-mode enabled.  Even if it's not enabled initially, you
can toggle it with F.

The second is in effect when org-agenda-follow-mode is enabled.

I think with the way things are written at the moment you're best bet
would be to try to rearrange afterwards (say with advice after
org-agenda-tree-to-indirect-buffer).  Ideally the current behavior would
be achieved in a way that would allow the user to control the result
with things like display-buffer-overriding-action and
display-buffer-alist, but I suspect that'd take a substantial rework.
