You do NOT need to have them in convo. In fact its probably better if they are not in convo - its easier. Just target them with slight of hand.
No, you can't target specific items in their inventory (that would be TOO cool). Results are also NOT random. The results of the pick pocketing are pre-ordained to a large degree. From merchants you will get gold and possibly one or two items and the items are ALWAYS fixed. Same merchant, same results. No variations im various games so far.
Actually i think Gamefaqs has a pickpocket item list - details all of the items you can snatch from various merchants and people.
Without the chance of capture or negative consequences, pickpocketing loses its charm. Its simply a point and click exercise. *sigh*
