Many websites are promoting such a variety of products that there are forced to divide them into multiple pages. This process is called pagination,

Well said. Proper pagination will improve user experience. Ux is directly linked to performance of your website in search results.

Use rel=prev and rel=next to indicate the relationship between the pages to search engines. If your pages generate a lot of duplicate or thin content you may want to noindex all but the first.

You may need to experiment with pagination vs non-pagination if you think you're having issues with your crawl budget.

One thing I never got with these are randomized posts and/or categories.

Should these be noindex as they are randomly generated that day/visit or by category and already seen on the main blog?

You mean random posts or a random post in a category that is displayed elsewhere in the site? If it's on its own page and not just an excerpt, a rel=canonical pointing to the original post would be the most accurate way to explain it to search engines (it's a copy of the blog post but the authoritative one is the one on the blog.)

Random as in category 1, 2 and 3 are mixed together on the front page with pagination.

Now, you can go to category 1 and have pagination. Is this duplicate?

How about a page selecting random posts from category 1, 2 and 3 every session and displaying them with pagination?

Entire posts or just excerpts? If it's entire posts I'd call that "ugly" :) - especially if you write long posts!

Duplicate content won't get you a "penalty" (as in "go directly to jail") unless you're a scraper site. What it does is force search engines to make "choices" which may or may not be in your favor.

One such choice may be in which copy of the content they show in a given search result (the others will likely be suppressed.)

A more problematic "choice" would be in how they spend your crawl budget. A crawl budget can be thought of as the maximum amount of time they'll spend crawling your site or the maximum number of pages they'll look at per visit. The more authority the site has, the higher this budget. If your budget gets used up crawling useless things like duplicate content and query parameters, important pages on your site might not be crawled. Pages that haven't been crawled recently tend not to rank well.

You should insert meta robot tag between <head></head> section of the randomly generated page with the content <noindex,follow>

If it's your home page (as is typical for blogs)? Probably not!

I think, then rel=canonical tag will be the best option, or if you can provide me blog url so that I can check it and will suggest you accordingly.
