A minyan is a quorum of 10 Jewish men (non-orthodox groups include women) and is the minimum number of men required for group prayer in Judaism. Shiva is the initial 7 days of mourning observed by direct family members of the deceased - parents, spouses, children, and siblings.

Do you say the hatzi kaddish without a minyan?

No. There's actually no compelling reason to have a baal t'filah at all, if fewer than a minyan have given up waiting and just decided to go ahead and daven. But if ... early in the morning, for example ... you think a minyan is likely to arrive, and a baal t'filah began the brochos, if there's still no minyan when he reaches a kaddish, the mourners don't say it, and in any case when a kaddish is reached without a minyan, it's not said.
