Just open the airlock for a split second - it'll suck that fart right out. What could possibly go wrong?

Blow. It would blow it out.

Memory unlocked: I had a Science teacher back in HS that said something along the lines of, "nothing sucks, it blows." Of course we all just laughed about it rather than understanding it at the time.

The fart would move from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side. Whether you call that "suck" or "blow" is just semantics. They're the same thing.

Maybe. it depends on the domain you're talking about. At the level of atoms, the atoms bounce and get pushed to where they don't encounter something to bounce against. At the level of gasses and pressure gradients those individual atoms are not relevant and the emergent behavior can be described as either.
