Here is one attempt. However, I have no idea if it is efficient.
We first define a function dist which is zero if two elements are equal and
1 otherwise and give it the attribute Listable.
In[3]:=
dist[a_, b_] := If[a === b, 0, 1]
In[4]:=
SetAttributes[dist, Listable]
Now we can do our extraction:
In[5]:=
Select[someList, Apply[Plus, dist[target, #]] <= 1 &]
Out[5]=
{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 2}, {0, 1, 1}, {0, 2, 1}, {1, 0, 1}, {2, 0,
1}}
This works for lists of lists of arbitrary length. the elements need not be
numbers and you can extract elements which differ from the target in any
given number of places.
