In order to pass a widget's value to a callback handler you must do two things:

  1. Assign a name to the widget when you create it.
    texbox.setName('foo');
  2. Add the widget as a callback element to the server handler you create.
    clickHandler.addCallbackElement(textbox);

If you've done that, then the value of the textbox will be passed in the event parameter of your callback function.

function myClickHandler(event) {
  var textboxValue = event.parameters['foo'];
  ...
}

It's not textbox.text. It should be textbox.value.

function myClickHandler() {
    var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
    var textbox = app.getElementById("TextBox1");
    var text = textbox.value;
    textbox.setText(text + "1");
    return app;
}
