Both pairs of words are often used as synonyms, but not always.

The town was completely destroyed by the tornado. (not "fully")
"Fully" is usually a good thing, and can mean "sufficiently."
The plan has been fully vetted. (not "completely")

Both "level" and "degree" can refer to "stages" of development, often numbered:
He has finally reached the second level/degree. This indicates "upward" progress.
Six degrees of separation - not necessarily upward. ("Level" in this meaning would always be upward.) Check the level of the gas tanks. (high / low)

"Level" also means "horizontal." Also an instrument for measuring the "degree" of deviation from "level."

"Degree" also means "one unit of measure," such as "degrees of rotation" or "degrees of temperature."
