Would Tree Stride allow someone to get by a Wall of Force? Imagine druid enters Tree A on one side of WoF? Could they come out of Tree B on other side of WoF?
I don't see why not. They're not using the ethereal plane, and they're not physically passing through the wall, they just go in Tree A and magically have the ability to exit via Tree B.

They'd have to make a charisma save to get out of forcecage, but wall of force has no such effect. Blocking ethereal movement is only really relevant for creatures and characters who can turn ethereal, teleportation spells in 5e don't seem to involve the ethereal plane.

Hmmm, that seems arguable to me, either way. Forcecage makes a cube so what happens if the tree is in the middle of the cube? A tree is not a creature, but would it be pushed to the side? if the tree is in the cube still and the Tree Stride caster is also, they should be able to enter the tree. But, can they get out?
"If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to leave the cage, it must first make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, the creature can use that magic to exit the cage. On a failure, the creature can't exit the cage and wastes the use of the spell or effect. The cage also extends into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel."
So i guess the question is does Tree Stride count as teleportation, interplanar travel or ethereal travel? In my head , I always sort of thought of it as traveling along tree roots...but would they extend through the cube?

Tree stride lets you move between plants that have absolutely no connection between their roots. I would classify it as teleportation.

I don't know if I would but I can see your point. The verbiage on Tree Stride doesn't call it teleportation but instead calls it transportation. The fact that is from tree to tree within 500 feet always suggested to me that it was sort of a tree network.
Probably one of those things where the DM needs to make a ruling and just go with it from there...
Forecage says that it blocks all matter from passing through it, preventing you from traveling through the roots or the ground. (Your body has to arrive at the destination tree somehow, right?)
It also says that to exit the cage through teleportation, you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw. It seems to me that RAI moving between trees is teleporting, but I am open to other ideas.
Lastly, Forecage says that it blocks all spells going into or coming out fromthe cage. So depending on what your DM says you might not be able to detect any other trees anyways.

RAW, it will work between two potted plants as long as both are large enough to qualify as trees.

It should work fine Tree Stride is a unique transportation ability that doesn't rely on ethereal travel or even teleportation.

We could call this teleplantation :)

Just got that! LOL
But it is also transplantation or extraplantar travel...
You leaf a sticky situation and branch out to a different place, your enemies are thouroughly stumped.
I am beginning to arbor bad thoughts about you. No matter what I dew, they keep taking root in my heartwood. They keep needling me...
