Is it applicable when a charging unit or running unit moves into range? Namely, if an enemy unit charges or tries to slam my caster and gets within two inches of the devout does the devout get a defensive strike even though the unit charging or slaming didn't have a normal movement?

Yes.

Charges and slams combine movement and action, but it's still part of normal movement.

Definately. Thats why 2x devouts, Feora, and choir are pretty neat-o.
