Why does a hole in a flying airplane cause things to get sucked out into the sky?

That does not happen, nothing is sucked out.
If you have a pressurized airplane and you get a hole in the skin the air inside will get blown out. It is no diffrent that if you puncture an inflated tire air will escape from it or any other container with pressurized gas inside. The pressure will equalize and it is the high pressure inside not the low pressure outside that does the work.
The reason airplane is pressurized is that air pressure drop with altitude and human need have high enough air pressure to be able to survive.
If you have a hole in the airplane you can get an effect from the air that moves around it too. But the same happens for an object that moves through the air at speed at ground level too
