What happens if a transaction is confirmed 1/6 but it's in the confirmed balance?
What would happen if it doesn't get confirmed and how does a transaction get confirmed?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

It's already a confirmed balance, 1 confirmation is fine for most transactions.
But if you want some extra security you can wait for more confirmations (e.g. if it's a very big amount).
Confirmations are the number of blocks found after the inclusion of your transaction.

If it doesn't get at least one confirmation, you are not able to spend it.
