</UserControl>

ViewModel

    public List<string> Coll
    {
        get { return _coll; }
        set { _coll = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
    }

    private string _ToolTipValue;

    public string ToolTipValue
    {
        get { return _ToolTipValue; }
        set { _ToolTipValue = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
    }

    public ViewModel()
    {
        _coll = new List<string>(){ "1", "2", "3"};
        _ToolTipValue = "Demo";
    }

Can you please help me why DataContext is not set.

Is it binding issue?

if you don't need any special things try not to nest the tooltip:

<TextBlock ToolTip="{Binding DataContext.ToolTipValue, 
                     RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=UserControl}}"
           Text="{Binding Length}"/>
