Is the split really random?

Yes. Names are shuffled with a Fisher–Yates shuffle, which gives every ordering equal probability, and then dealt out to the groups.

What if the names don't divide evenly?

When splitting by number of groups, group sizes differ by at most one person. When splitting by group size, the last group may be smaller.
