Tempo 1 means at the tempo at which the movement was started. A tempo just means at the tempo, and is used to return to the tempo after a brief slow down or speed up, as would have been indicated by rit, ritard, ritardano, rallantando, accelerando, or something like that.

"Tempo 1" is used after a tempo change. Your piece of music started in one tempo, then somewhere in the music, you should see a different tempo marking. Eventually you wil see "Tempo 1", which is letting you know to go back to using the tempo at the beginning of the piece. (For ex., if you start out "Adagio", but then a few pages in, you see "Presto", you'll obviously go from slow "Adagio" to fast "Presto". Then, you'll see the Tempo 1 after this- now you return to the "Adagio" tempo. ) A tempo means the same as Tempo 1.

For example Adagio is slow and Allegro is fast. Approximately 120 beats per minute. Which would essentially be two beats per second.
