the "unless" cards from judgement

[TheRogue]

is it impossible to misdirect browbeat due to the order of its processes?

browbeat says "unless a player has browbeat deal them 5 damage, target player draws 3 cards."

my understanding is the whole underlined part doesn't go into effect until resolution.

am i missing something where you would have to determine the target upon casting browbeat or can the target be chosen on resolution?

unlike the rank and file spell it has preconditions written before its targeting process. i guess what i am asking is targeting for the "target player draws 3 cards" determined before you go into the 5 damage option of the spell?

You announce Browbeat's target when casting it (i.e. paying its costs and putting it on the stack), same as for any other spell/card. When resolution begins, any player may take 5 damage from Browbeat, or the target draws 3 cards. As Browbeat has a single target, it's a valid target for Misdirection etc.
