The first of those two could probably be done with AppleScript.  Ask
iTunes for the current track and then tell it to start a Genius
playlist based on that.  The second...  There must be a way to read
the contents of a playlist, and a way to queue songs in Party
Shuffle.  So you'd just tack the code to do that on the end of the one
to just make the playlist and play it.  You might have to do some
stuff to get it working right, but it should work.

This will be, of course, not really an action.  It'll just be a
script, which you can put somewhere that QS indexes and run with the
Run Applescript action (or is it just Run, with a different icon...?).

A real action would be to _select_ a track in QS, tab, "Make Genius
Playlist," and there you are.  That could easily be extended to the
party shuffle thing as well.  Thing is, that would be a much, much
harder script to write, because you'd need to do the QS action-hook
stuff.  Still, it's possible, and with some digging in the AppleScript
dictionary the first versions, for Genius from current track, are
quite doable.
