Okay, technically the half sashay is different, but it's almost always assumed. There are dances where one person stands still while the other rolls away. In this case, the standing still person isn't half sashaying.
"____ Roll ____ across/along" is specific, while "roll away with a half sashay" is vague. They refer to the same basic thing.
It's vague because it doesn't indicate who rolls who. In the context of a dance, words I use calling it may vary depending on context. When teaching a rollaway, this is one of the moves I spend a little extra time to emphasize shared weight between dancers.

In Contra dancing, what is the difference between "Roll your ___ Across/along" and "Roll away with a half sashay"?
What are your favorite words to teach this move?
