I have a 3/4 of a gallon cylinder tank and was planning on keeping 1-2 ghost shrimp. It will have duckweed and hornwort, no filter and maybe airation. Would this work, and this is my present setup with no substrate. The substrate is a tan sand.

I don't think you need aeration. Should be fine for a few shrimp, but I would hate to see that warbird poster get ruined by some sort of aquatic accident.

You need to keep it covered. Grass shrimp are surprising good jumpers. Surely an adaptation to escape from predatory fish by leaping onto or over floating vegetation, but they will jump just as readily when you startle them.

Honestly for a tank this small I would suggest Pond Snails from local waters
I keep pond snails in my 5 gallon cylinder tank.... no problems with plants
