Q: iTunes 12.5.1.21 cannot turn off shuffle
Since downloading the latest iTunes update for Windows I can't get shuffle to turn off anywhere. The shuffle in the top bar (where the songs show as they're playing) is turned off, but the Shuffle All that's next to every album and also on top of the artist page is turned on and I can't find a way to turn it off. I hate shuffle, and I never use it, and I never want to, and yet iTunes apparently wants me to. Any suggestions for what to do?
Windows 10, Issue is with iTunes only

Here is what I found, and it matches what you found partially:
It depends on where I am clicking to start the track. If I click directly and with single-click the little arrow that appears when moving the mouse over the title I want to play first, it will play random songs afterwards. This does not match your bullet 3) for me. Random is off, yet "Up next" shows random titles when I click the little arrow play button.
If I double click on the title itself (not the little arrow) then it will play non-random - agree with your bullet 4).
It is a non-intuitive User Experience.
