The country where I did pre-university education does not have an equivalent of the GCSE (age 14–16 exam). It only has the equivalent of the A-level/sixth form exam which qualifies one for university admission.
Would it count against me to leave the grades in this (14–16 education) section blank (given how competitive an IB internship is)?

So long as it's not a compulsory section and you're entering your A-Level equivalents when asked, you shouldn't have a problem. Can't imagine this would ever be the make/break for an application, unless they're asking for specific grades (i.e. B at GCSE maths)
Good luck!
Non issue in my mind. If possible put N/A when filling out application.
