The reasons to draw the gun in the first place are the same as for shooting.

This is correct!

Is it possible to pull a gun on someone without firing, in hopes of having them back off and therefore diffusing the situation without reaping legal actions? Is this advisable in any situation?

Think of it this way:
We know from Safety rule #1 "All guns are always loaded"
Therefore a pistol is
ability
A pistol pointed at someone is
ability and intent
IF you draw your weapon and point it at someone you are now showing
ability and intent.
Verbal commands should have already came from you before you draw. Dont ever draw your weapon unless you've already decided there is no other way out of this one. And you're in fear for your life or someone elses.
This is why it is always best to have a good holster and carry in condition 1.
