If Dusknoir uses its "Cursed Blast" Ability and targets an opponent's Benched Pokemon while Battle Cage is in play, would Dusknoir be Knocked Out even though it placed no damage counters?

Yes. It still used the Ability even though the placement of the damage counters was blocked by Battle Cage. So Dusknoir is Knocked Out.

If both players have only one Prize card left and my opponent's Dusknoir uses its "Cursed Blast" Ability to Knock Out my Pokemon, who wins?

If one player has a Benched Pokemon to put into the Active Spot and the other doesn't, the player who can send out a new Pokemon wins. If both players can or neither player can the game goes to a Tiebreaker Game, or if there is no time left the game counts as incomplete.
