Bitcoin-Qt does not have a concept of a "sending address"  It takes the coins from any previous transaction as needed without regard to which address it was received at.

Without significant technical knowledge, the only way you can make sure that the coins are sent "from" a particular address, is to send the entire balance of your wallet to a receiving address in the wallet, and then once that transaction has successfully completed, create a new transaction send the desired amount to your intended recipient.

Since the full balance of the wallet will have been received in a single transaction to your wallet's receiving address, the new transaction will spend that received transaction resulting in it being the "sending address".

That's just your bitcoin wallet address (found when you click receive coins). When received by the other party it will show up as sent by that number. He is just asking you to copy and paste it again in the thread so he can keep better track of it.

This is not necessarily true.  It depends on what wallet program you are using (Electrum, MultiBit, Bitcoin-Qt, Armory, https://blockchain.info/wallet )  each has its own way of dealing with addresses and transactions.

Your advice is quite likely to be incorrect for some people using the Bitcoin-Qt wallet. The Bitcoin-Qt wallet moves some of your bitcoins to a brand new address that it doesn't tell you about every time you create a transaction.  If you create a transaction that only uses the bitcoins at one of these brand new "change" addresses, then the address that they appear to be coming from won't be anywhere in the "Receive coins" section of your wallet.
