I guess it depends on whether it's sealed or not.

If it's open to the atmosphere how can it be under pressure ?

If it's sealed it could be put under (positive or negative) pressure so would be, by definition, a pressure vessel IMHO.

What is the difference between a tank and vessel?

A tank is designed to hold the maximum hydrostatic pressure at the base -- based on the depth of the tank, the density of the material it holds, and maximum atmospheric pressure (with added margin for safety). A tank wall may be constructed with 'thicker' material at the base and 'thinner' material at the top, to save cost. The top of the tank need only support its own weight (plus safety margin). A pressure vessel must withstand the rated pressure at all points around the surface of the vessel.

What causes the transfer of materials between capillaries and tissue fluid?

As blood enters the capillary bed on the arteriole end, the blood pressure in the capillary vessel is greater than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid moves from the vessel to the body tissue.At the middle of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel equals the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid passes equally between the capillary vessel and the body tissue. Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point.On the venue end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel.
