Try google image search with the word つまむ。You'll get very good examples of つまむ movements!

In my understanding, つまむ is a move with your fingers, while つかむ is a move with your hole hand. As you see in the jpg image, the woman uses her whole hand to pull a drawer of the copy machine.

「つむ」には同音異義語がたくさんありますね。
積むとか摘む、そして最近ネットでよく使われる詰む。
「おつまみ」というのは枝豆やするめなどをつまむようにして取って食べるからおつまみと言うのでしょう、きっと。
