You could trace this just normally. Then release the compound path, delete one of the paths and then apply Object > Path > Offset path to the other path.

 

You could also try if it works tracing this as a stroke.

I tried both approaches but they result in a mess. The image and the line is not clean and contains too much noise.

Just drawing it will be the best. But I think it's doable

In this example you cannot, too much noise in your line.

Manually tracing with the pen tool will give the cleanest results.
