The pronoun "I" is always capitalized.

The "out" in "thank you for helping out" is not the same as the one in "thank you for helping me out of my problem". Sometimes in English we throw in an extra word for no good reason. We leap "across" a chasm, we lift a child "up", we sit "down". The little words like "out" will drive you crazy if you try to make sense of them.

If there is a difference between helping and helping out, it's that "helping out" is more specific. It implies that your contribution is only part of a larger, ongoing effort.

I'm gonna try to write down the same expression of "out" like "thank you for helping out" below :
Would you please check it out?

ex) Carry out your plans.
Act out your fantasies.
Live out your dreams.

I Think these nuance of "out" have the same meaning to " thank you for helping out:" , right?
This kind of "out" means "Showing something in the mind as behavior or action."

I think you are close enough. That is a useful way of thinking about this "out", I'd say.
