An eyetooth is a first, upper biscupid, a "fang" (an [upper] canine). The expression, as I know it, is that one would give his eyeteeth in exchange for something (thus incurring a great cost, as with "an arm and a leg"). I'm not sure about any variants with the expression. I would imagine that "eye and tooth" or even just the schism into two words, "eye tooth" (with or without a hyphen?), is derivative.
