Your formula is true (up to appropriate constants) if you take $\nu$ to be the Minkowski content, assuming that the volume of the tubular neighborhood is locally Lipschitz as a function of the tube radius. This is because the Minkowski content is defined as the derivative of the volume of the tubular neighborhood.

One condition ensuring that the tube volume is locally Lipschitz is that the distance function to $A$ has Clarke gradient bounded below in the $\epsilon$-neighborhood of $A$. It also ensures that Minkowski contents coincide with the Hausdorff measures of the boundaries.

Finally, although that's not the question, it is possible to bound the volume of the tubular neighborhood without any conditions based on $\epsilon$ covering numbers of $A$.
