Is it possible to shorten or extend a chain only one link as shown in the photo (in red square). Or do I have to shorten at least two links in order for the other end to match ?

I think "link" is usually taken to mean a big one and a small one, so you actually want to remove half a link. Or maybe different people use different terminology. (Or maybe I'm just wrong.)

You could do it but then you'd have to close the chain with a quick-link making it exactly as long as before!

For 1/8" chains as used on singlespeed bikes (or with hub gears), half links are reasonably common.
They do exist for 3/32" chains (for use with derailleur gears) but are much less common and rarely needed as the derailleur provides much more chain length adjustment.
