If I have a nonvehicle unit say believer in the old ways (2 hp), and my opponent attacks me with the royal guard (and wins edge battle) for 2 damage and I use light saber deflection do I still take 1 damage? Or does it cancel all damage and reflect one?

1 point only is moved.

What if there no enemy unit on the board - can I still re-direct the dmg from the unit?

Yea..if it goes to one of your OWN units (chewie perhaps)

You need a target for this to work

When you play this card during an engagment can you deal the damage to an opponent unit (or friendly), which is not participating?

Because it says "THAT damage", which is most often the blaster unit demage, so my understanding is, that you deflect with the same restrictions to only participating targets.
And it also does not make sense to deflect throug space into Palpatine's office, but I'm new to the game and want to ask for advice.

Yes you can. There's no location restriction.
