1) Is anything like this possible:

SomeReturnValue* val = [(SomeProtocol*)obj someMethod:anArg someArg:otherArg];

That is, I know that the object should conform to a protocol, but I don't know
what class it will be.

I want the compiler to recognize the method (which may have arguments) and
understand what arguments and return values are expected. Should I just pick
one of the conforming classes and "cast" to that?

This is a rtfm question...This should work

SomeReturnValue *val = [(id <SomeProtocol>)obj someMethod:anArg somArg:otherArg];

2) Are there any Random / RandomSeed functions provided anywhere in Cocoa or
CF?

You can use the standard C library functions, random() and srandom(). (man random).
