We usually say a place's very "far away." So can we say "the sky's very high away" or " the sea is very deep away?"

No, it would not be correct. One "place" is a specific place and it can be far away from where you are which is another specific place. "The Sky is high" would be a simple statement of fact; the ski is indeed, high. One specific part of the sky could be said to be "high above" another spot or a particular object like the moon could be said to be far away. High is never used in conjunction with "away" and neither is deep. High can be used with above and deep with below but never with away.

So basically, high above, deep below and far away for most everything else would be correct.

You can say a place is very far away. You can say the sky is very high up in the air, and you can say the sea is very deep (in some places).
