A boy has his Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
A person may be asked to participate in the Bar Mitzvah ceremony by performing an honor or something similar, but this participation is known well in advance of the Bar Mitzvah. The synagogue will not put any person on the spot to perform some aspect for the Bar Mitzvah.
They have Bar Mitzvah ceremonies for boys & Bat Mitzvah ceremonies for girls.
The literal meaning of bar mitzvah is "The age of law", which means that from this age on the young adult is obligated in all the laws of Judaism. For boys this is the age of 13 (bar mitzvah) and for girls 12 (bas mitzvah).
The phrase is a noun. The "bar mitzvah" is the person ... the male Jew who turns 13 years old. At that age, the responsibility for his religious observance, and his moral, ethical, and social conduct, become his, and are no longer the responsibility of his parents. This is the situation of that person when he turns 13, whether or not the occasion is celebrated or acknowledged in any way, and whether or not anybody is even aware of it. The person has become a bar mitzvah. An adult convert to Judaism is a bar mitzvah immediately. There is no ceremony that creates this status, just the fact the man is over the age of 13.
It is where the Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place.
Yes, the boy is called 'a/the bar mitzvah' which translates as 'son of mitzvah'. For a girl, it would be 'a/the bat mitzvah' 'daughter of mitzvah'.
The key player in the Bar Mitzvah boy is the 13 year old Jewish boy, his family and friends are invited to join in the celebration. For more info on Bar Mitzvah check out http://www.yourjewishspeech.com/bar-mitzvah

The young person is from that time obligated by the Torah commands.
