I also want to know if I understand charm kiting correctly. Should I charm an animal, use it against a mob and before the mob dies, hide or invis so it breaks the charm and kill the mob and then kill the ex-charmed animal?
Yup, you've got all that basically correct.

I can't speak to higher levels, but at lower levels charming is the fastest way I've found to get XP . As you said, you basically just get two mobs of equal power to fight each other, causing tons of damage for the price of a single charm spell. Then you break the charm before either dies and finish them with melee attacks or nukes.

The tricky part is the timing. If you break too soon you'll need several (mana inefficient) nukes, but break too late and they'll die, giving you either half or no XP. Because of this it's better to use camouflage than hide, as it's more predictable.
