Over the last few years I have been posting less and less because this place turned into a troll fest so it's nice to see there are some good guys left as well.
Agree, I avoid the drama of a lot of other areas and pretty much stick to this and other threads to help with bitcoin.
I like being able to help but it's really cool to check the thread and see that others have already answered the questions. It's cool to be part of a thread that's actually positive and productive.

Yeah, you can send bitcoin that hasn't confirmed yet - the second transaction just won't confirm until the first one does.
It's hard to say how long that will take because it depends on how busy the network is, what fee was attached to the transaction, and variance.

You shouldn't do that... but it's your money and your decision.
For anyone else:
you should always send to your own wallet in between for multiple reasons.
It's not just about your own risk. Breaking direct links between Ignition and exchange actually helps everyone because it makes it tougher for them to connect which addresses belong to Ignition.

On average it will be 30 minutes, but in reality it can vary from minutes to hours. So that's normal.

No, they don't charge any fees other than the 1.49%
The amount you receive in bitcoin from Ignition will be calculated using their exchange rate at the moment they send your withdrawal. I don't know which exchange rate they use but in my experience it's pretty close with Coinbase.
From the time they send your withdrawal to the time you sell bitcoin on the exchange you are subject to fluctuations in bitcoin price.
If done correctly that whole process should only take on average around half an hour. The price will most likely have changed slightly and you'll be up or down a fraction of a percent. But the amount you receive should be pretty close to the amount you withdraw from Ignition.
If you're concerned and want to minimize the exposure to exchange rate on a larger amount you can break it down in to multiple smaller withdrawals.
Bitcoin Network Update:
The network is busy again. If you're sending a transaction from your wallet make sure that it uses a higher than normal fee.
If the fee your wallet sets is not at least 0.00035 bitcoin you should manually raise it to that.
If you're at all concerned with whether Ignition will send your withdrawal with a large enough fee you should wait awhile to request a withdrawal.
If by chance someone from Ignition happens to read this... make sure your withdrawals pay the extra pennies in fees so that your customers get their money quickly.
