Yes, the random generator will use all the available points.
BUT you need to select the setting "Computer Player Difficulty: HIGH". If not the random generator will use less points.
This is valid for the mods too.

Again, no.. The racial trait and characteristics picked DO NOT depend on the difficulty setting. They are taken DIRECTLY from the race_AI_general.txt

Lower difficulty means that the AI does not use all of its ministers.

Edit:
Well, maybe not.
In any case, just don't choose a difficulty lower than Hard, and you won't have any problems.
