Use the Shift Channel and Set Channel effects to extract your RGB mattes.

You need a color sampler utility such as Digital Anarchy provides it with their Anarchy Toolbox. AE does not have those functions natively.

Motion Math is dead ever since v6. You have to think of other ways.

I think you are using the wrong approach for this. You should randomize the timing, not the animation itself. What I would do is to create a reference spotlight. Animate it one cycle, then use loopOut(“cycle”) to continue that animation infinitely. On your other lights use something like that:
seedRandom(index,true);
original=thisComp.layer(“Reference Light”).rotationX;
//timing variation offset in seconds
time_min=-10;
time_max=10;
time_rand=random(time_min,time_max);//timing variation multiplier
time_mult_min=-10;
time_mult_max=10;
time_mult=random(time_min,time_max);//angle variation
angle_min=-90;
angle_max=90;
angle_rand=random(angle_min,angle_max);//rotation value of reference mapped to new time
angle_time=original.valueAtTime(time+time_rand*time_mult);
//new rotation
angle_final=angle_time+angle_rand;
[angle_final]
By playing with the values you should be able to control every parameter pretter easily. I would create some sliders on a dummy layer, so you can vary all your parameters easily once you have your expression applied and cloned your lights into an array.

X=thisComp.layer(“track”).position[0];
Y=thisComp.layer(“track”).position[1]+10;[X,Y]

Use the lookAt() method. It does basically the same as orientation parameters.
