It's the same process as if you were casting Refocus on an already untapped creature. The spell targets the creature. It just won't do anything other than draw you a card because the creature is already untapped.
You can certainly cast Duress on a hellbent player. The spell targets the player. It just simply won't do anything.

Ok thanks!
Just needed clarification for against the Ensnaring Bridge for the lantern control decks. I was thinking I could cast everything myself and then they couldn't cast cards and then I start attacking. O well.

You can cast them even if your opponent has no cards. Duress and the like only target the player, not the card.
