The sign 'out' uses both hands. With both hands, press the fingertips together to create teardrop shapes. Bring the non-dominant hand in front of you, and tuck the fingertips of the dominant hand into the hole of the non-dominant hand. Bring the dominant hand out of the hole, spreading the fingers as you bring it out.
Sign 'please', 'dog', then 'out'. For 'out', ensure your dominant hand starts tucked inside your non-dominant hand's teardrop shape and opens up as it pulls away, mimicking the dog leaving the house.
Sign 'bag', 'laptop', then 'out'. Your non-dominant hand acts as the bag, and your dominant hand physically represents the laptop being pulled from the opening and released.
Sign 'I', 'go', 'out', 'with', 'friends'. When signing 'out', clearly spread your dominant fingers as you pull away from the non-dominant hand to emphasize the action of leaving.

No, your non-dominant hand should stay stationary in front of you, acting as the container. Only your dominant hand moves to show the action of coming 'out.'
You only need to pull it a few inches away from the non-dominant hand. The key to clarity is the smooth spreading of your fingers as your hand exits the hole, rather than the distance it travels.
Yes, you can use this to mean physically exiting a place to go somewhere. However, keep in mind that ASL also has specific signs for 'dating' or 'socializing' if you want to emphasize the romantic or social aspect of the evening.
