Can i use both of the expressions?
We are waiting for immedate action.
We are waiting for an immediate action.

We want an immediate action.
We want immediate action.

If both are possible, what is the difference?

I think when I use 'an action' it means the action is completed.

Am I correct?

Answer

If you say "an immediate action" you are saying one specific action, but it could be any action. It is grammatically ok, but it still sounds kind of funny.
 If you say "immediate action" you just want something to be done in general.  "immediate action" would be more commonly used
