I have a vampire with a Homunculus and Vampyric Disease. Even if my
vampire is currently untapped, can I pay for the Homunculus untap every
untap phase during a trip around the table to intentionally lower my
blood to zero, so I can get rid of the Disease faster, when I truly
untap while tapped?
More generally, can you pay for something when you don't get any
benefit? Is this just considered a fizzle of the ability, or is it
successful? Thanks.

Yes.

Yes. Untapping a target is successful if the target exists, even if the target
is untapped already.
