Are there any oceans or seas that are tideless meaning no low or high tides or both?
In short: no. Tides are the result of the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. It pulls equally on everything, but the water can move and so it moves in the direction of the pull. Tides will be more noticeable in some places than others, though. In small bodies of water the tides are hardly noticeable. The highest tides in the world are at the Bay of Fundy, where the shape of the body of water (probably) contributes to the high tides. In other places the tidal range is almost zero. This is called an amphidromic point. Similarly, in these places, the shape of the body of water and the flow of the currents nearly zeros out the tidal effect.
How many high tides are there in a day in Indiana?
Tides are a global phenomenon. Any place with an ocean shore all over the world will see the same number of tides. The size of the nearest ocean, and the shape of the coastline will determine the height of the tides. Some places, it's hardly worth mentioning.

What the causes of a tide?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the world. It matters not what phase the moon is in. It's gravitational pull is always the same. What matters is where it is in it's orbit of the earth. The tides are lowest when the sun and moon are on the opposite side of the earth, and are highest when the 2 are on the same side.
