There isn't a sub-menu for all Dynamic Mix options. Each option should appear
within Dynamic Playlist sub-menus:
My Music > Dynamic Playlists >
Albums >
Dynamic Mix Album
Artists >
Dynamic Mix Artist
Genres >
Dynamic Mix Genre
Playlists >
Dynamic Mix Mood
Songs >
Dynamic Mix
Dynamic Mix Mood
Dynamic Mix Track
But I recommend setting as favourites such that the appear within Dynamic Mix >
Favourites, and also appear in the Mixers context menu.

Probably down to the Dynamic Mix player preferences. Try setting the "Mix
Variety" greater than 0 (0 will always return the same song mix for the given
seed each time), and leave "MIP Recipe" blank.
Anyway, it shouldn't matter if the seed song is returned back in the MIP mix,
as it should ignore recently played tracks. So, ensure the Dynamic Mix player
pref "Remember This Many Played Tracks" is greater than 0.
This is also why I fetch more than 1 next track from MIP; the plugin scans
through eliminating songs that were recently played, so it will pick the next
track that hasn't already recently been chosen. If the seed track is always
included as the first song returned in a MIP mix, this should be skipped when
deciding which song from the mix to play next, as that song will have been
played already.
