iTunes defines the random order of the tracks when you first specify set "Shuffle". (This is so that the skip forward / backward buttons work in a reasonable manner.) If you never turn Shuffle on or off, that order is never changed. Just disable and then re-enable Shuffle to get a new random order of tracks.
For more detail, see Why isn't iTunes shuffle random?.
You could use iTunes DJ. Select the playlist that you want from the list in the left-hand corner.
Then, you can right click on a song, and select "Play next in iTunes DJ"

Best Answer
If you normally sort your overall library by album, you can right click on the currently playing song in a playlist and select Show In Playlist -> Music. This will take you directly to that song in your music library.
