Fixing the seed wouldn't necessarily make LLMs deterministic. LLMs do lots of computation in parallel and the order in which these computations are performed is often indeterministic and can lead to different final results.

Yep. And to answer the question about randomness - it's absolutely vital to have a good source of noise to obscure the underlying pattern to prevent the secret information leaking - but the mathematical part that manipulates that noise into the encrypted output has to be precise. That's the distinction made here relating to probability.
