Let's say the tank is attuned to the shield of missile attraction and a fellow team member fires a bow/crossbow at an enemy within 10ft of said tank. Does the team member's projectile hit the tank instead of the intended enemy?

The shield doesn’t care. You are now the target.

The shield of missile attraction description states:

Whenever a ranged weapon attack is made against a target within 10 feet of you, the curse causes you to become the target instead.

Nothing here is said about who made the attack or who the target is. The shield doesn’t care. You become the target any time anything, creature or object, within ten feet of you is targeted by a ranged weapon attack from any source.
