For clarity. (actually thinking about it, is "mod 𝔭" well-defined over the whole field K? If K = ℚ[i] then obviously yes but...?)
Edit: should be yes, consider the additive structure of K which is Abelian, so 𝔭 is a (normal) subgroup and the quotient group K/𝔭 is well-defined. (although it's not well-defined as a ring or a K-module)

and want to know how these are related.

Both maps $\Frob_{\kP}$ and $\Frob_{\kp}$ induce the power-of-$p$ map in the corresponding quotient field, hence we would expect them to be naturally the same.

thus we would expect the proof of consist of only "typecasting".

Perhaps that's what I mean, but my ability to write isn't that good.

First, $K/\QQ$ is normal, so $\Frob_{\kP}$ fixes the image of $K$, that is,
$\Frob_{\kP} \restrict{K} \in \Gal(K/\QQ)$ is well-defined.

We have the natural map $\phi \colon \OO_K \to \OO_L \to \OO_L/\kP$, and the quotient map $q\colon \OO_K \to \OO_K / \kp$. Since $\kP \subseteq \kP$, then $\phi$ factors through $q$ to give a natural field homomorphism $\OO_K / \kp \to \OO_L / \kP$.

Seem like an interesting side result, but I don't know if this is useful in other ways.

Only after looking at it compiled I realize I made a mistake, it's supposed to say 𝔭 ⊆ 𝔓. (but the more correct thing to say would be 𝔭 ⊆ 𝔓 ∩ 𝒪ₖ ⊆ ker φ, which is the reason why φ factors through q)

Absurdly enough, there is an explicit answer:
\textbf{it's just the stabilizer of $\kp$, at least when
$p$ is unramified}.

("It's natural to consider the stabilizer, not absurd!")

In fact you somewhat derived the result right below (explain how we should consider the stabilizer), I mostly just reorder it to motivate it better.

Then, every $\sigma \in D_\kp$ induces an automorphism of $\OO_K / \kp$ by
\[ \alpha \mapsto \sigma(\alpha) \pmod\kp. \]
Note that this definition is in fact equivalent to the set of $\sigma$ such that $\sigma(\kp) \subseteq \kp$,
because a field isomorphism fixes the ideal norm $\Norm(\kp)$.

Is there a better proof of this fact?

So there's a natural map
\[ D_\kp \taking\theta \Gal\left( (\OO_K/\kp) / \FF_p \right) \]
by declaring $\theta(\sigma)$ to just be ``$\sigma \pmod \kp$''.
The fact that $\sigma \in D_\kp$ (i.e.\ $\sigma$ fixes $\kp$)
ensures this map is well-defined.

Surprisingly, every element of $\Gal\left( (\OO_K/\kp) / \FF_p \right)$ arises this way from some field automorphism of $K$.

Maybe worth saying something about what the kernel mean, but I haven't gotten the intuition yet.
