Yes, Shakespeare's company were asked to perform at the courts of both Elizabeth I and James I. In particular, James asked them to perform many times to celebrate the marriage of his daughter in 1612. Many Shakespeare plays including Othello and Measure for Measure were performed.

Did people come to the palace in Elizabethan England to perform for the King and Queen or did the King and Queen go somewhere?

First of all, in Elizabethan England, as the term might imply, there was no king; Elizabeth was queen. To answer your question though, both. The queen might actually attend a theater or she might sponsor a performance at her residence. Some noble might also sponsor a performance at his residence and invite the queen to attend.
