There are three doors. You have picked one, leaving two other doors. It absolutely explicitly says he opens one door. The only options are a goat or a car. If it was a car, you would have lost already and so there is no problem. If it was random, you still get the same information (what is behind one of the unpicked doors).

No, if both you and Monty pick a door at random, there’s 1/3 chance of a car behind each door. If Monty’s door reveals a goat, it’s 50/50 for the remaining two doors. It’s mandatory to specify Monty’s procedure precisely.
