1- "out of" is a direction of motion (ran out) rather than a position (stood): "He took it out of the box" (motion) "It worked straight out of the box" "He ran out of the room" (motion) but you do get expressions like "out of the ordinary" which are slightly more like "outside". 2- This is a good sentence. d
