Magic the Gathering Redirect card. Need help understanding...?

I read the official ruling of the card but the first ruling gets me:

"You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them..."

It says "any number of targets" and the card says "You may choose new targets for target spell."
TARGETS

So if someone played Lightning Bolt could I redirect it to more than one other creature or player?
What about if they played a card with rebound? Would the rebound also hit them or do they choose?

NO. Lightning Bolt only has one target, and redirect would let you change that target to something different. Redirect never changes the number of targets a spell has, only what those target are. It says TARGETS for the times you target a spell with more then one target, such as Into the Core which reads, "Exile TWO target artifacts".

What about if they played a card with rebound? Would the rebound also hit them or do they choose?

If a player cast a spell off of the Rebound ability, it becomes a brand new spell that has just been cast, with no memory of it's previous existence. You can redirect either the original casting of the spell, the rebounded version or, if you have TWO Redirects, you could redirect both versions.
