1. what if the two random values are the same as the last two? the, the element would not appear to shift at all. I guess I'd need some kind of conditional setup for that
If you want to reduce the randomness by preventing it from returning the same values twice in a row, you will indeed need to keep track of the previous values.
JavaScript
const backgroundElement = document.querySelector('.container');
const positionXY = [100, 25, 50, 75];
const currentPosition = { x: 0, y: 0 }; // TODO: Set your initial position

const randomPosition = (positions) => {
    const result = { };
    do {
        result.x = positions[Math.floor(Math.random() * positions.length)];
        resuly.y = positions[Math.floor(Math.random() * positions.length)];
    } while (result.x === currentPosition.x && result.y === currentPosition.y);
    
    return result;
};

const changePosition = (el, positions) => {
    const newPosition = randomPosition(positions);
    el.style.backgroundPosition = `${newPosition.x}% ${newPosition.y}%`;
    console.debug("New position", newPosition, el);
};

// Event delegation: https://javascript.info/event-delegation
document.addEventListener("click", e => {
    let a = e.target;
    if (a.tagName !== 'A') {
        a = e.target.closest("a");
        if (!a) { return; } // The click was not on an <a> element.
    }
    
    console.debug("Link clicked", a);
    changePosition(backgroundElement, positionXY);
});

2. what if there are certain links on my page I do not want to trigger a background shift, what can I do to those links to make sure they are not included in the querySelectorAll Node List ?
You'll need to find some way to identify those links, and exclude them from the event. For example, by using a CSS class:
JavaScript
document.addEventListener("click", e => {
    let a = e.target;
    if (a.tagName !== 'A') {
        a = e.target.closest("a");
        if (!a) { return; } // The click was not on an <a> element.
    }
    if (a.matches(".class-to-exclude")) {
        return; // The <a> element should be excluded.
    }
    
    console.debug("Link clicked", a);
    changePosition(backgroundElement, positionXY);
});
