But if the seed is set. You can't change it. The roll has already been determined. The house knows it. It is a number which has already been determined. This does not fit the definition of random.
It seems the only "aspect" of the randomness is you can set your own seed. But they still know. And you're limited to changing it once every 10 minutes or so.
So the rolls are not random.

Correct. All provably fair schemes aren't random. Dilbert explains why:
So we use the next best thing, provably predetermined. The house **does** know all bets in advance, however it's not a problem as the house can't do anything about it. It just has to honor your bets and keep increasing the nonce by 1. If it deviates from that, they've detectably cheated.
If the casino feigns down-time, you should be able to continue playing from where you left off etc.
So the house knowing the games in advance isn't actually a problem.
