TrigExpand[Tan[ArcTan[x] - ArcTan[y]]]
x/(Sqrt[x^2 + 1]*Sqrt[y^2 + 1]*((x*y)/(Sqrt[x^2 + 1]*Sqrt[y^2 + 1]) +
1/(Sqrt[x^2 + 1]*Sqrt[y^2 + 1]))) -
y/(Sqrt[x^2 + 1]*Sqrt[y^2 + 1]*((x*y)/(Sqrt[x^2 + 1]*Sqrt[y^2 +
1]) +
1/(Sqrt[x^2 + 1]*Sqrt[y^2 + 1])))
P.S. I don't see the point of the "or better yet" part of your question.
