Usually where should we create the database link? In the production or development?
Literally speaking, where should we give this command?
create public database link dblinkname connect to user_in_db2 identified by password_in_db2 using 'tnsentry name in db2';
In production or development? Please suggest.

I would never link the two, nor would most people. If you want to pull data back from prod to dev, use export or datapump, if not what are you trying to do?

I hesitate to answer because of the very reason cookiemonster gave, think of a database link is as one-way link. The source can interact with the destination.
