What's the difference between "this morning" and "all morning" when they are used in the present perfect sentence? which one represents a duration--from the past to now?

I have written letters . I have been writing letters.  what do they mean? i know the meaning of the second one -- i wrote letters before and still writing. but what about the first one, i think maybe it also has the same meaning as the second one's,because present perfect tense also have the same usage as the present perfect continuous tense.

I have done my homework. does it mean i have finished my homework, now maybe i have no work to do?  this sentence must have this one meaning , why? OR depends on the contexts, maybe i am still doing it, according to the usage of present perfect tense--Actions which started in the past and are still continuing .   Thanks for replying!
