Technically, an individual recites the Mourner's Kaddish during the worship service only during a limited number of days or months following the death of a parent, spouse, sibling or child, and then annually on the date of that relative's death. It also happens that one recites the Mourner's Kaddish if requested to do so on behalf of an individual who is required to recite it, but who knows that he will be unable to attend the service. Though understandable, it would be considered odd by many if the Mourner's Kaddish were recited by a person of whom it was neither required nor requested. But he certainly could not be prevented from reciting the prayer, which contains only praise of the Master of the Universe, and makes no mention of death.

Is Kaddish at the end of a bar mitzvah?

Kaddish is said at the end (and at several points in the middle) of every prayer service. Kaddish is also often recited at the end of a Torah class or a Siyum--the completion of one of the books of the Torah. Often a bar mitzvah boy will "make" a siyum and kaddish will be recited. But just to say kaddish at the party, no.

Do you say the hatzi kaddish without a minyan?

No. There's actually no compelling reason to have a baal t'filah at all, if fewer than a minyan have given up waiting and just decided to go ahead and daven. But if ... early in the morning, for example ... you think a minyan is likely to arrive, and a baal t'filah began the brochos, if there's still no minyan when he reaches a kaddish, the mourners don't say it, and in any case when a kaddish is reached without a minyan, it's not said.
