Are you free between 1pm and 5pm? (Translation)
I googled how to say 'between' and it came up with -부터 / -까지
e.g 1시부터 4시까지 시간이 있어요?
But does this sound like I am asking to meet them for the whole 4 hours?
I want to ask if they have any free time between the hours of 1pm and 5pm, not to spend the whole 4 hours with me ^_^

"Are you free between 1pm and 5pm? " => 1시에서 5시 사이에 시간(이) 있어요 [나세요]?
"between 1 and 5" should be "1시에서 5시 사이에". It's closer to "sometime in that time slot" than the entire 4 hours.
You can compare these related expressions. #4 makes it very clear that you are not taking the whole 4 hours.
1. 1시에서 5시까지 시간(이) 있어요 [나세요]? => Are you free from 1 to 5? (entire 4 hours)
2. 1시에서 5시 사이에 시간(이) 있어요 [나세요]? => Are you free between 1 and 5?
3. 1시에서 5시 사이에 제게 시간 내 주실 수 있어요? => Can you make time for me between 1 and 5?
4. 1시에서 5시 사이 아무 때나 제게 시간 내 주실 수 있어요? => Can you make time for me sometime between 1 and 5?
* 시간이 있다 = 시간이 나다: be free, be available.
* ~에게 시간을 내 주다 [내어 주다]: make time, make oneself available (for someone).

(오전/오후) 1시'부터/에서' 5시 사이에 시간 있어요? (any free time between 1 and 5)
For the whole hours, it is better for you to clarify/specify how many hours you want.
e.g. "1시부터 5시까지 네 시간 동안 시간 나요/있어요/되요?" If you add an adverb '계속', it would be better.
e.g. "1시부터 5시까지 네 시간 '계속' 시간 나요/있어요/되요?"
In any cases, the other part is going to confirm what you mean. "네 시간 동안 '계속/쭉''이요?"
Then you just respond, '네' , with smile.
