I would only ever say "Thank you for telling me that" if someone told me something sensitive (if they opened up their heart to tell me something about themself for example) or perhaps in a slightly more formal situation (i.e. workplace)

For example:
-Thank you for telling me that. I know it wasn't easy for you to open yourself up like that.
-Let's say you let your boss know that you can't work because of a family emergency or something. Then, your boss might say "Thank you for telling me" or "Thank you for letting me know" (In general, you can leave off "about that")

In essence though they both mean the same thing. I think I use "Thank you for letting me know" more. It sounds more colloquial whereas "Thank you for telling me isn't as casual.

Thank you for letting me know about that is a good choice. They would understand. It shows your appreciation for what they told you, no matter the situation.

Also the shorter - “ Thanks for sharing” works in more casual settings.

They mean the same thing but more commonly “Thank you for telling me about that” is usually when some one shares information they didn’t have to share

“Thanks for letting me know” is usually when someone mentions something to you and can be said as a casual, not urgent, warning.
