Watched a battle report where he charged typhus through his line of poxwalkers, is this correct?
I've always taken charge to be the same as moving, so you can't move through any units or scenery but can charge over scenery if you add the vertical up and down distance to the total distance.

This is tricky as a charge move, by RAW. is not defined as a normal move.

However, a charge move itself is still considered a move, so it is widely agreed upon that a charge move, although it is not technically called a move. Is still considered a move in the CRB

Charging through your own units it's generally agreed that the unit in front just moves out the way for the unit charging from behind.

I wouldn't say it's generally agreed as that as I haven't come across anyone trying to claim such a move outside of things with the fly keyword.

Yeah as much as I hate to act like BCB here, you got a citation for that? It's still a normal move so you follow all the rules for that.

No I don't have citation sorry. i'm just saying that's what happens at my local store and no-one's ever said we can't.

Yeah,I thought as much. It seems there is some confliction, but I feel that charging through units isn't intended. Makes sense that they would move out of the way, because they are your own units, but then why not implement that for the movement phase?
Charging over barricades is legal? just add the up and down measurements.

Not in 8th edition.

Were they spaced far enough apart his model could have fit through? You can move 'through' a unit if there's space to physically fit your base through, but you can't move through models if there isn't enough space to move by.

You move using the movement rules for charges. You can't charge "though" a model unless you can fly. If there is space for him to go around or go though, then he can move within 1" of friendly units just fine.
