I imagine a situation with multiple People having the same Last name, but i’m not ment to talk to them with the first name. What do i do to speak to a specific one? Will it be from context? If one of them talks to me and i reply to it with Lastname-san? (just like you but with the Name instead)
What happens if i want to start a conversation? Would both feel like they’re talked to?
What if they don’t even know that they share the same Name?

If they don’t know they share the same name, they’ll find out soon enough. =P
In all seriousness, if there’s confusion, you either use their full names, or ask if it’s all right to call them by their first names. If they already know each other, you may find they already have some kind of convention in place.
To give an example, in the manga Bakuman, there’s two characters with the surname Hattori. The more senior of the two is called Hattori, while the junior is called Yujiro (his given name).
Thank you ;)
