I'm not sure if StubHub could force somebody to sell tickets they no longer want to sell if they wanted to.

The tickets were already sold. What would be forced here would be delivery of what was sold.

They can't exactly force that either, but they should be able to force penalties or restitution if they fail to perform.

I've never used StubHub. When you buy tickets, does a seller profile appear next to the listing, as in Amazon? If so, a cheap move by this seller should at least put a bad mark on the seller's public profile. That could benefit reputable sellers, though. Of course, anyone selling their first tickets on StubHub would be at a disadvantage because they'd have no reputation.

No. Sellers can't even provide details on their tickets besides the few checkbox yes/no options.
