>If I had a use for a hose (specifically to fill an above ground pool) that was higher than the level of the barrel, would any water come out?
No.

>Maybe if the barrel was full?
No.

>Does it have to do with the weight of the water in the barrel?
No.

Water finds its own level with gravity. You can't make water go above that level unless there is a force acting on it. Like a water pump.

Things like a siphon can make water go above the level temporarily but the exit point has to be below that level or it wont work.
