Yes, there is a very big difference between 'pulling out' and 'pulling away'.
In a motoring context, 'to pull away' simply means to start moving, or possibly to accelerate from a previous speed, as in "Once on the open road, she changed up to fifth gear and quickly pulled away from the old car behind"
'To pull out', on the other hand, specifically means to move sideways, as when you pull out of a parking space, or when you pull out to overtake another car. It can also involve a movement that is not sideways, but always emphasizes the 'change of position' idea, as in for example "He pulled out of his drive without looking, and ran over a child on the pavement"
Of course, in other contexts, these verbs can have other meanings again!
