Can I Wrench Mind a player with only one card in their hand? If there isn't a second card for them to discard, do I have to discard one to satisfy second target?

The target is a player, not their hand or cards, so the spell doesn’t care about what they’re currently holding. If they have less than 2 cards in hand (zero or one), they’ll just discard what they can (and end up empty handed).

just as a clarifying comment for timmy's example. Decimate still requires all 4 targets satisfied. the targets just don't all have to be different. if there is some weird abomination of a permanent that is a land, creature, artifact and an enchantment all at once, that card alone could satisfy all parts of Decimate. however if there are no enchantments on the board, just artifacts, creatures, and lands, then you would not be able to cast it as you still need to satisfy all of the targeting conditions on the card.

Yes absolutely you can. It becomes their "choice"
