Act of Heroism can target an untapped creature. It still gets +2/+2 and can block an additional creature.

3/16/2018·wotc

You can cast Act of Heroism even if the target creature won't be able to block right away, perhaps because you're the attacking player.

Untapping an attacking creature doesn't remove it from combat.
