Usually I need just one confirmation to send out any funds from a BTC address that has recently received some (I am more familiar with blockchain.info's wallets more though). But the amounts I send are small. I note that bitmixer.io requires more than one confirmation for LARGE quantities of BTC.
Sometimes just that one confirmation can take some time though, especially when I am in a hurry...

i have been able to send may bitcoin immediatly, the fact that you are waiting to see the downloaded block chain does not stop you from sending your coins
I always wait more like an hour before i decide to send anything out. i like just to be extra sure. overkill i know but by that point plenty of confirmations usually.
Lets say my wallet is empty and i receive 1BTC , how many confirmations do i need to be able to send that 1BTC to someone else?
Only 1.

Only 1.
If problem occurs (Example : forked blocks) ... all the chain are recovery between the 1 confirmation and the 6 confirmation.
Usual mining reward take 100 confirmations.
you can send it immediatly but better to wait about half an hour or to get atlest 6 confirmation because some websites and softwares reject txs with low or low confirmations
It is impossible to "reject" incoming transaction 
I guess whats missing is "to be used as inputs". E.g. core default behaviour is not to use unconfirmed TXs as inputs.

The answer is: you are able to send these funds immidiately.
But some client software do not allow you to do it.
I have had transactions with 3 and even 5 confirmations and they were not completed where I could resend the bitcoin. I normally just sit and wait about 20-30 minutes. by then I get at least 6+ and it is ready to send.

Usually you need to wait till getting 3 confirmations at least so the transaction get the "confirmed" status and then you can easily sending the btc received to someone else without problems
