Both the Amidah and the Kaddish traditionally require a minyan.
I'm not sure how strict our rabbis are about having a minyan to proceed with the prayers, since I don't think I've ever been at a Torah study in which there weren't at least ten adult Jews present. I do know that one of the rabbis nearly started a service using the Torah scroll to stand in for one Jew, since only nine were there, and I do know our synagogue has a lay-led weekday minyan that does not require ten people to say the Amidah and Kaddish. I've been twice (it conflicts with my work schedule most of the time), and once there were five of us, and once there were three, but we didn't leave anything out.
