My mom got those tomatos at a market. They are dried and are increadibly sweet, they taste like candied and their inside is soft and sugary. The vendor said its a wild tomato from a mountain region. They are only 2 cm large. So I would guess they are approximatly the size of cherry tomatos.
Can someone tell me what kind of tomato it could be? My mom wants to buy the seeds but the vendor wouldn't tell her the name.

You have the dried fruit, the seeds are inside those assuming they are only dried out and not treated in any way. It would be far easier to identify mature fruit and plants before dehydration. To my eyes these are not visually distinguishable from the contents of the box of golden raisins I ate last night.
What country are you in? There are thousands of tomato varieties worldwide, but not all are available in every region. If you provide a location, people with local knowledge can better provide possible varieties.
I’d say they’re certainly candied.
I quickly answer in german, as you said you’re in Germany:
Wildtomaten sind oft extrem aromatisch und wirklich unkompliziert anzubauen. Es gibt einige Sorten und fast alle sind sehr süß. Im Gartencenter bekommst du ohne weiteres Rote Murmel inzwischen als kleine Pflänzchen im Frühjahr. Man findet sie ansonsten auch unter dem Namen “Johannesbeertomate”.
Das eine Samenkorn was ihr sichern konntet, würde ich trotzdem versuchen zu pflanzen, Tomaten keimen sehr zuverlässig.
