Re: visual neglect
From what I understand, it's not that they can't focus their attention on the unattended side (and most of the time that would be to the left). Studies have shown that they can, if given appropriate cuing (take a look at some of the work done by Posner and Raichle). Chances are, if you pinch them, they will respond to that side.

Re: visual neglect
Is far as I know, no one has actually done this. However, if somatosensory perception is intact, they would probably localize the pain as if it came from the side that was pinched. If the body schema is disturbed then they might localize it as coming from the intact side or not really localize it at all.
