No, we don't know who Chara is. You believe that they are the narrator, and we get the most optimistic narration on no-kill runs. There is even slight difference to single-kill no LV gain runs. Seems like the narrator doesn't want you to kill.

Doing something evil doesn't make you evil. Doing evil most of the time does. I didn't say that everyone was good, I said that no one is truly evil. The game tries to reinforce the idea that there is no cause worth killing for, and that no intention justifies doing so. The interaction with Chara takes it a step further: it tries to reinforce that killing because you think you're above consequences (in other words: for fun) is the worst thing ever. If Chara has a fixation on something, it is not killing, but holding everyone responsible for their actions.

It seems it didn't occur to anyone that eight children climbed a mountain from where no one is supposed to return. Everyone is satisfied with noting that Chara hated humanity - but why? Could it be related to the reason the other seven kids went to literally disappear? If it was, then Chara's hatred is pretty much rightful.

We should also note that it happened in a relatively short time. Monsters were sealed underground by humans wielding swords. That wasn't around the time when video cameras were available, and the Dreemurrs have one. So, we have no information on kids going there for at least centuries, then suddenly eight did in succession. It should have been fairly rapid: Alphys and Papyrus are oblivious to who Toriel might be, and even Undyne can only guess. So, it probably happened in as short as Undyne growing up from hot headed kid who challenged Asgore to head of the Royal Guard. That's eight kids who ran away in probably as few as thirty years time, from the vicinity of the mountain! Chara is described to be from a village, and if the others came from the same place, it is an alarming rate compared to the population as a whole.
