Hang out is usually in reference to a place. Example: My friends and I went to our favorite hang out on Saturday. My friends and I will hang out at Freddy's on Sunday.
Hang about usually means you have no where in particular to go. Example: My friends and I will have little time this week so we will probably just hang about and talk. A husband might hang about the mall killing time while his wife shops.
I hope this helps.

about is not really used in that context. it's just the way it's spoken.
