Ah, what a lovely question! "Before we went out" is a subordinate clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It depends on the main clause to give it full meaning, just like how a happy little tree needs a beautiful sky to truly shine.
The subordinate clause is 'before she goes out.'
If you have the subordinate clause before the main clause, you write a comma. However, the rules are a bit different for relative pronouns connecting main and subordinate clause.

There isn't a difference between a subordinate clause and a subordinate clause.
No, "before we went out" is not a main clause. It is a subordinate clause that functions as an adverbial clause indicating time. A main clause, also known as an independent clause, can stand alone as a complete sentence and typically contains a subject and a predicate. In this case, "before we went out" does not express a complete thought on its own and is dependent on the rest of the sentence for clarity.
The subordinate clause in your sentence begins with the word before.
No, "They spoke before lunch." is a complete sentence.
It may be either way.
