Default Is there a Tool Opposite of Vice (Separator)?

Yes - they have hydrologic 'jaws of life' if you will. They are
two flat and wide jaws that point down to a shallow v point. Then
the pump is used to change the tip wider and wider.

Some bar clamps are reversible and will push outward as well - but you
need an opening for it.

It is hard to visualize what you need this for and the application.

few inches to almost a foot if possible.
