Basically what the title says-how close do you have to be with someone to ask them simply to "hang out" or otherwise do something? Do you have to be best buds, acquaintances, moderate/lukewarm friends, etc?
Bonus question: what's a good way to convey that you want to do something with them but can't find or offer anything you could possibly do?
Are you talking about the opposite sex or same sex? I think it just all depends on how well you hit it off with that person. If the vibes or chemistry are good then you can always say, we should do lunch sometime, after two week or so of talking on the regular.
No time at all. Why does one have to wait to hang out? It's not like you're asking them to have casual sex (or is that what you mean)? What is the fear: that they won't like you, you won't like them, or you'll get rejected?
Lunch is a good option if you don't know of any common interests. Or you can ask them what they like.

Are you talking about friendship or romance, first of all? It makes a big difference, because if it's romantic you are after, you ask for a date, not to "hang out".
As to the second question, there is no "good way" to say to someone "I'd like to do something with you but am too timid to actually put myself out there and suggest something, so I'd like to put all the responsibility for that on you if you don't mind" (they will, and they should).
I wouldn't ask this person to do anything until you can do it with more confidence then you're conveying here.
