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.

The tradition is to say Kaddish for 11 months after the death, and then for life at Yizkor services (on Yom Kippur plus 3 times a year, once for each pilgrimage festival). You need a minyan to say Kaddish, so it's usually during the 3 daily services, but you can say the kaddish after study if you are with are a minyan worth of Jews who have studied Torah (broadly interpreted).

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.

No, the men in the concentration camp did not remember to say the Kaddish for Akiba Drumer in the book Night by Elie Wiesel. They were consumed by their own struggle for survival and had become desensitized to the suffering of others.
Public prayer needs a "minyan." A minyan is, according to Orthodox Judaism, 10 Jewish men age 13 and up. According to Reform, Reconstructionist, and most Conservative Jews, a minyan is 10 Jewish people (male or female) age 13 and up (age of bar mitzvah... some might count females at age 12). The most significant need for a minyan is to say the mourner's kaddish (a prayer mourners must recite), and to read from the Torah scroll as part of a public service with certain blessings (the Torah can be read for study or as a private act, however, without a minyan... even just one person).
