I also noticed I had far more success charming here once I hit 39 and got cajoling whispers. Not sure if it was because of the higher level spell or because the 'dark blue range' gets larger as you increase in levels.

This is accurate from what I have experienced and read about. Charm prior to this point was not at all like how it was on live back in 1999 / 2000. Once you got to this level and spell, charm fell inline with how it was on live.
As for the original question, charisma does have a noticeable impact upon charm (both in landing the charm and for the resist check every tick on the server). Additionally, the magic resistance is a factor (so yes, debuffing will have a noticeable impact). Finally, the level difference between the charmer and the intended charm target will factor in (this was not in any order). At lower levels, these are (or at least were) significantly off. On live in 99/2000 I could reliably charm even and yellow con mobs and rip through reds (I did this a LOT in North Karana). Here, charm lasted only for a couple of ticks if that so I gave up and solo'd (when I had to) with my animation pet.
