Expendible I agree with your interpretation, apart from the last line. Chargers are moved in the order the active player decides; page 68 "sequence of charges and responses". The fastest moves first is for pursuits, these are not pursuits they are charges.

You declare the direction of the charge once your opponent has said his troops are evading....Page 66 first bullet point

f) choose another BG and recolve its charge.
g) resolve the last BG's charge.
under f) and g) if the previous BG(s) prevent contact then the charge is cancelled - thus the charge is only cancelled if it would have contacted a target but for the friendly BG's blocking its path.
If the last BG had the move to contact the evader then its charge would have been cancelled. If not then it moves as far as it can.
Not quite:
a) you declare your 3 charges
.(and their path)
b) your opponent states the LH will evade
d) the LH evades.
e) you choose one BG and resolve its charge - roll its VMD and move it along the charge path - it my choose to wheel to follow the evaders.
- you roll all three and move the fastest first
The rules have the path declared after the LH choose to evade (first bullet of p66) thoug it may need to be declared earlier if there are interceptions.
Where does it say you move the fastest first? P68 says if there is more than one charge the active player chooses the order in which they are actioned. As rolling the VMD is part of making the charge move you don't know which is fastest.
