No, for this card you can only choose possible actions. You cannot choose to discard two cards if you don't have them in hand, and you cannot choose to sacrifice a creature unless you have one.

^^ This. Each player's Hand is a game zone. It still exists even if it currently empty. "Discard your hand" means "discard all cards that are in your Hand zone", an action you can perform while it is empty.
A creature is a single permanent. If you don't have any creature, then you really don't have a creature to sacrifice, a creature to be sacrificed doesn't exist, meaning this is an impossible action.

But your wording leads to additional vague misinterpretations, so I will clarify:
If the card said you may choose to "sacrifice all of your creatures", then you would be able to do so even if you had zero creatures.

If I dont have creatures and planeswalkers on battlefield and dont have cards in hand, can I choose discards or sacrifice?
No.
