Level 1 ranger receives ambidexterity and two weapon fighting for free when wearing light or no armor.
Is it possible for a fighter to take 1 ranger level and then take improved two weapon fighting later, or does he have to get amb and two weapon fighting first?

You can take the feat with one level of ranger - but you do need a base attack bonus of at least +9.

Will the imp. two .w fighting work with heavy armor?

Nope, when selecting Ranger, you receive the Dual Wield feat, this is different than the 2 main Two-Weapon fighting feats. With armor negate, and such.
To receive the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, you must have the Ambidexterity Feat, and the Two-Weapon Fighting feat. Just taking one in Ranger will not allow you to receive this feat, without first getting the Ambi, and TWF feat.
So, you must get those two feats, even if your a ranger, to receive it. Unless of course - You take 9 in ranger, in which you receive it for free.

This can be pretty confusing, really. Rangers get the Ambidexterity feat and Two-weapon fighting feat for free at 1st level. At 9th level, they receive the Improved Two-weapon fighting feat for free. All with the stipulation that they can only use these feats while wearing light armor, or no armor.
Multi-classing allows you to choose these feats in a normal fashion, without having to worry about what kind of armor you are wearing.

Erk.. Yeah... Let me make it a little more clear, that was kinda confusing what I said...
Okay, players taking at least 1 level in ranger gain the 'Dual Wield' feat (along with tackless/profs), but this does not actually give them the Amibdexterity, and Two-Weapon fighting feats - just the benifit of having them.
At level 9 Ranger though, the character will actually receive the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat for free. This is unlike the faulty Dual Wield feat, and actually gives you the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat.
So, a level 8 Fighter/1 Ranger couldn't take Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, unless he had Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting, even though he may have the ranger's 'Dual Wield'.
There, that's a little more clear... I hope
