Glycolysis does not happen in the mitochondria. It takes place in the cytoplasm. Therefore those organisms (prokaryotes) are also capable of glycolysis that do not actually have mitochondria. In the biological oxidation of glucose, glycolysis is the first step of three, and the only one that is possible without mitochondria. The last two steps, that is the citric acid cycle (Krebs-cycle) and terminal oxidation occur in the mitochondria.

No, Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

The Link Reaction and Krebs Cycle occur in the Mitochondiral Matrix.
