Answer 1

En mi trabajo uso una bomba de vacío.

Cuando voy a una fiesta procuro no llegar con las manos vacías.

Answer 2

Vinieron con las manos vacías

Answer 3

I have never heard the phrase "de vacío". That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. To me, empty handed would translate well as "con las manos vacías".
