I have the following image...

...that I'm trying to get a vector outline for in a similar way to the Illustrator Offset command.

I'm looking to have a finished vector look similar to this...

(Note: This is simply a stroke layer style that has been added to the original)

The two outlines must be vector shapes.

Is there anything in PhotoShop that will allow me to do this?

It takes a few steps, but this can be automated with actions.
• Make a copy of the layer.
• Create a stroke effect in the Layer Style panel to provide the offset.
• Rasterize the layer to flatten the effect.
• CTRL+click the layer to select the active pixels.
• From the Paths panel's flyout menu, select "Make work path..."
• Set the tolerance as needed (lower for more detail) and click OK.

That will provide an offset vector shape. You can then delete the copied layer.
