Actually these aren't idioms, they are mostly phrasal verbs and noun phrases. Idioms have symbolic or figurative meaning that is different from the literal meaning (dictionary meaning). Most of these have literal meanings.

inside out - inverted (eg the inside part of your shirt is facing out)

upside down - flipped in a vertical plane

to fill in - to complete a form or to completely fill anything

to fill out - (same - yeah English is weird)

no matter - it doesn't matter

to take advantage of - to use

to take after - to copy

in the long run - after a long period of time

in touch - to stay in contact with someone

out of touch - to lose contact with someone

to take up - to start something

to take up with - (incorrect usage)
