If there aren't, are there any trains from Tokyo to Hokkaido? Are they covered by the JR Pass? How long is the journey from Tokyo-Hokkaido and Vice Versa.

Tokyo to Hakkaido by shinkansen is basically four hours (Hakodate-Hokuto). From there is it another four hours to Sapporo. And, yes it is covered by the JR pass. Other locations around Hokkaido - from less than an hour to many many hours. A lot of people fly.
The night train (Cassiopeia) was removed from service when the shinkansen was extended to Hokkaido (ended March 2016). It was a difficult to book service, and actually quite expensive when I looked into it a few years back. The JR pass did not cover the room cost (from 27,000 yen for the most basic), only the base fare.
