2.) I think that plenty of compatabilists could take a random will as a free one. It's free in the relevant manner, at least. Maybe not quite what we mean...obviously you're thinking of some sort of intent behind the will, but a person will have to make concessions to reality if they're in the business of maintaining their free wills.
Personally, I don't think we have a random or a free will.
Taking a random will as a free one is a defining problem. If I pick car A over B because of randomness the only thing that my will would be free from is causality but there's no determining in indeterminism. If there's no determining it isn't free either. If you roll a dice for every decision you make, is your decision free?
I don't believe we have a free will either, but I don't know for sure if it's determined or random, some say QM (randomness) doesn't apply to our brain but I'd say it can have an affect because of the butterfly effect. I assume you believe in that our will is determined?
