Not really open wells because the rear of the blades isn't in contact with the window itself. It's more of a grating and you may get some diffraction on both sides as sound exits the blinds in each direction but I don't think the effect will be great. I wonder whether the sound will be better as you suggest, or with the blinds closed or angled and providing a surface with a different reflectivity than the glass of the windows themselves.
It's worth trying and running with the approach that is preferred but I suspect any difference will be more from the difference in reflectivity than from the diffraction.
