A: They're very similar and in most cases they can be used almost interchangeably. There are slight differences depending on context though.

"Chill out" is said more commonly than "bent out of shape" (at least with people under 25), but can occasionally be seen as condescending depending on the context. "Sam started yelling at the police man so I told him to chill out." (Not condescending) "Sam was laughing too loud so I told him to chill out." (Slightly condescending). Typically you can tell if it's condescending based on the tone.
"Calm down" is similar to "chill out" and can be used interchangeably.

"Cool down" can be used when someone is angry. "Mike wanted to fight so I told him to cool down."

"Pull yourself together" is when someone is figuratively falling apart emotionally or physically. So for example: "Luisa was crying so hard that she couldn't speak so I told her to pull it together." Or if a sports player is playing badly the coach will often say, "Pull yourself together, you're disappointing your team."

To be "bent out of shape" can imply someone's annoyance or anger or any range of negative emotion. If you wanted to be more direct and pinpoint the emotion you could say, "Don't get so angry about it" or "Don't be annoyed" or another specific emotion.

I hope this helps! Sorry it's so long. Let me know if anything is confusing.
