There is no mint mark on currency because paper money isn't printed at the U.S. Mint. It's printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, either in Washington DC or Fort Worth, TX. The Fort Worth facility opened in 1991, so anything before that was printed in DC. For modern bills, to determine where they were printed, look near the edge for a small letter and number, such as FW E 228 or G 78. These numbers indicate the plate position of the bill during printing. If it has the FW, it means Fort Worth.

Does an O mint mark mean that the coin was struck before the P mint?
Not strictly, because that's really 2 different questions in one. The New Orleans Mint used an O mint mark from 1838 to 1861 and 1879 to 1909, and the first coins to carry a P mint mark were "war nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945, so the O mint mark definitely precedes the P mint mark. Because the Philadelphia Mint had been striking coins without using a P mint mark beginning in 1793, coins from that city can easily predate coins from New Orleans.
