Is a quarterback in the pocket and not under pressure allowed to throw the ball away?

If there is a receiver in the area of where the ball lands, then yes. If there is no receiver there, it is a penalty.

If it goes out of bounds, no. That would be an incomprehensibly moronic idea though.
What does in the pocket mean football?
The "pocket" is a horseshoe shaped area formed by offensive linemen that drop back and protect the quarterback during a pass play. In theory, if the quarterback remains within the pocket, he will have sufficient time to find a receiver and throw a pass. If defensive players penetrate the pocket before the pass is thrown, the quarterback is either sacked or forced to run out of the pocket...and then he's on his own.

Why does the quarterback have to throw the football to the wide receiver?
The clock stops when the ball goes out of bounds. If a quarterback doesn't have a play because the defense has thoroughly covered anyone who can legally receive, he'll throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock and allow the team to try a different play.
