“Has there been any attempt to quash the subpoena? Or is Ms. Fuddy just ignoring it because it doesn't seem to be a valid subpoena?”

Not a lawyer, but having spent five years in court in a custody “death match” it is generally not wise to ignore filings by the other side. It is best, in my experience, to point out to the court that the filing by the opposition is invalid and why.

My lay-person’s understanding:

-Orly cannot issue a subpoena. The court can, and a member of the bar in that state appearing before the court could. But Orly herself cannot.

-In civil matters, subpoenas must be issued by a court in the state of the person receiving the subpoena. That is, this court or officer of this court would need to have a Hawaiian court issue the subpoena to a Hawaiian citizen.

I reserve the right to be incorrect on any or all of those points.

That said, I agree with Siezethecarp. Ms. Fuddy will probably move to have it quashed rather than just ignoring it.
