For instance, can you breed mother and son or brother and sister safely?

Wow, cruxify me for asking a question. I have heard of people inbreeding and that's why I asked. don't assume I'm going to inbreed my dog. Jeese people lighten up!

LINE BREEDING is where you have a superior dog and intentionally breed to have that dogs name in the pedigree more than once...
its NEVER safe.. their is always an element of risk becuase you increase the chances of certain weaker (or less desireable genes) of appearing when you do so....
certain genetic defects are RECESSIVE and its those which come up from breeding relatives to each other as well as a heightened risk of mutations
dogs who havent been to shows to prove they are excellent examples of the breed WORTHY of having pups should not be breed...
dogs who havent been checked by a vet for breeding soundess shouldnt be bred
there are some very common problems seen in breeding siblings or closely related dogs
BAD TEETH (over bite or under bite)
BAD HIPS
BAD LEGS (toed in, knock kneed, toed out...etc)
BAD EYS
MORE PROBLEMS WITH SKIN (allergies...hot spots, oily skin - poor odor)
INCREASED AGGRESSION ISSUES
DOMINANCE ISSUES
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
as well as gross deformities... and puppies being born dead etc

There are two things that breeders do (which I don't recommend someone who's got no experience and no mentor to do) and that is line breed (grand daughter to grandfather, etc.) and inbreed. Both can help to gain consistancy in a particular animal and improve upon faults, etc. I do not, as I said above, recommend doing this unless you've got experience or have a mentor.

No, inbreeding increases the chance of inheriting genetic disorders. Although the diversity of dog breeds is a result of selective breeding (and often selective in-breeding) it has come with the price of genetic problems particular to the breed (ie, ear infections in cocker spaniels, neurosis in dalmations). And this is just inbreeding under carefully controlled circumstances by experienced breeders.

Not wise. Yes you can inbreed dogs but you really are doing a diservice to the gene pool. Not to mention that you will tend to get more health issues and behavioral issues (mutations and deformaties) going down this path.
I hope that you have a good understanding of genetics but from your question - probably not.

No.
This is what is causing a lot of problems in dogs today, and leading many of them to shelter death row.
In breeding causes health, behavior, and other issues that can not always be worked with. This can be anything from under bites, to aggression, to severe physical defects.

Do not try this. It causes birth defects sometimes such as blindness, deformaties, and other things.
Any recessive genetic trait can show up in a double dose.
I really would not recommend this. The AKC does not allow it either.
