I think you're right about suction through the wound, though since your internal organs have some integrity of their own it wouldn't necessarily suck you dry... but you'd probably have exacerbated blood loss at least.
As for swimming in guts, since most of the stuff getting sucked out of you will still be fairly massive, if there is gravity it will still fall to the floor. The water in your fluids would either freeze or vaporize, depending on temperature (liquid water can't exist in vacuum), so you might fill the room with mist from your evaporated blood, if there's a lot of warm light shining in there. But most likely, if you're indoors, you're going to be in shadow, so you'll just get frozen blood on the floor; and if you're outdoors, there's no enclosed volume to fill with anything, so it's irrelevant.
