Entropy could be viewed as the simple addition of information due to indeterminism.
How can causality survive in a universe like that.

If something is not predictable in principle, then it is impossible to show that it has causation.
Even if we assume the world is 100% fully deterministic, as long as our measurements are not 100% accurate we will have some amount of measurement noise which is completely indistinguishable, even in principle, from true fundamental randomness.
In fact, fundamental randomness is much easier to work around than measurement noise, since there is no risk of it being correlated with your experimental design. In contrast, measurement errors are often correlated to the measurement method, which makes them much harder to eliminate statistically.
If the fully random events are rare enough, you can even still determine causality using statistical tests, just like we do today. Of course, you can never be 100% certain, but that is to be expected. This is anyway how experimental science worked even when the world was assumed to be 100% deterministic: true randomness is not really different to experimental science than measurement noise.
