In the mitochondria. Usually called the Citrate or Krebs Cycle. Never heard it called "Citric"
Assuming that the Kreb cycle starts with the citrate, the third compound is alpha-ketoglutarate.
citrate
Two: 1) oxaloacetate => citrate 2) fumarate => malate
The Krebs cycle starts with acetyl CoA, and combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, a six-carbon molecule. Citrate is further oxidized until oxaloacetate is again reached at the end to restart..
Citrate
Since Krebs is a cycle, there is a pretty good argument that there is no "first metabolite". However, because citrate is a condensation product of OAA and acetyl-CoA, and acetyl-CoA is typically what is feeding in to the Krebs cycle, citrate could be considered the "first metabolite"
Pyruvate -> Acetyl CoA -> Citrate which is used by the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.

citrate
Citrate, a Krebs cycle (i.e., TCA cycle or citric acid cycle) intermediate, is generated by many bacteria; however, utilization of exogenous citrate requires the presence of citrate transport proteins (permeases). Upon uptake by the cell, citrate is cleaved by citrate lyase to oxaloacetate and acetate. The oxaloacetate is then metabolized to pyruvate and CO2.

The Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondrion.
the citric acid cycle consists of a series of reactions in mitochondria which catabolizes the oxidation of Acetyl-CoA to CO2 and H2O in aerobic condition. the acetyi-coa combines with a 4-carbon dicarboxyllic acid,oxalloacetate to form 6-carbon tricarboxyllic acid citrate.
