clamp says 4.25 to 4.50 inch ID, does that mean it won't stretch or compress outside that range at all, or is there a little give to it?

That range is the working range for this clamp, so you'd want your hose or tube OD to fall between 4.25 and 4.50 inches for a proper fit. Outside that window, you're not going to get reliable clamping force, and at the extremes you risk either an incomplete seal or a distorted clamp band. Size it to what you're actually working with and you'll be fine.

got a hose that measures right around 4 and 3/8 on the inside, would this clamp cover that?

Fit comes down to diameter, and this one is made to clamp inside diameters from 4.25 inches up to 4.50 inches. A 4 and 3/8 inch ID sits right in the middle of that range.
