Toreador's Bane and unblocked action

Can Toreador's Bane be played at MEL by the acting minion during an
action that was not blocked ? (eg. during an action to enter combat)
What happens?

The unblocked action continues as if it weren't blocked. So nothing
changes. I'm more curious about what happens when a blocking minion
plays TB. Not that it matters much since you could just play it at
inferior if you don't want the action to continue.
But suppose you had a Telepathic Misdirection, Toreador's Bane, a
Daughter and an AUS-chump. Predator is bleeding you. Instead of
bouncing right away you decide to fish for some stealth cards and
block with the Daughter. Predator reads your mind and decides not to
add stealth. Can the Daughter now play Toreador's Bane at superior to
let the action continue so you can use that Misdirection?
