Immediately: You will get the best results if you whiten your teeth right after a cleaning since the tooth surfaces are nice and clean!

That depends: That depends on how healthy your gums are. If your gum tissue is healthy than right away is ideal. If you have moderate-severe gingivitis or periodontal disease then you really need to work at achieving good gingival (gum) health prior to bleaching as bleaching with inflamed gum tissue can lead to severe sensitivity.

It is safe to whiten: Whitening after teeth cleaning will give the best results. Professional teeth cleaning removes biofilm which interferes with the whitening effect of teeth whitening gels. It is safe to whiten immediately after cleaning.

A day or two: I would wait a day or two till the tissues are back to normal. If you have a lot of sensitivity wait a little longer.
