Random walks on graphs, expected times for different things, gambler's ruin. I seem to either stumble on some pretty advanced texts about group representation theory or texts that briefly mention it in reference (usually) to gambler's ruin...Curious if anyone has a nice go-to reference on these at the upper undergraduate level or introductory graduate level...

I'd try a stochastic processes text, like this one- https://www.math.duke.edu/~rtd/EOSP/eosp.html (free pdf; Durrett also has a book on random graph theory, which is also covered in social and economic network analysis texts.) Or the extensive notes at- http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~rrw1/markov/
Or at a more leisurely undergraduate level, these might be to your liking-
