What exactly does the wording on future sight let you do.  

Specifically, 3 questions.

1.  Can you use show and Tell to play something from the top of your library.

2.  If you have stormbind in play, can you activate it's ability with 0 cards actually in hand.

3.  If someone duressed you, could you choose whether the top card of your library can be hit?

None of those work, as they all require cards to be in hand.  Future Sight leaves the card on top of your library, but you may put it into play in the same manner as you would if it were in your hand (with mana and land restrictions applying, of course).

You only get to do one thing with that top card:  Play it.

Nothing else.

To elaborate on Jebus' post, in the game of Magic "to play" has a very special meaning. See, back when they kept all the magical lingo around, you "cast" spells and you "played" lands. Some time ago they decided it would be simpler to just have both lands AND spells fall under the same word, and that word would be "play". So when it says "You may play the top card of library as though it were in your hand," it does NOT mean "act as though it were in your hand."

Same goes with Yawgmoth's Will - you can't Show and Tell a card from your graveyard into play, and if you have an Illusionary Mask in play and a Dreadnought in the graveyard, Yawgmoth's Will will not allow you to bring the Naught from the graveyard facedown into play, because Mask specifically refers to cards that are actually in hand.
