Since they didn't seem to care much about fighting Toriel, compared to Asgore in Neutral, it's possible Chara didn't remember anything when they first woke up, and just went along with what Frisk wanted - that's how the human souls reacted to being inside Flowey.

Either way, they're connected to Frisk's emotions (and presumably Frisk is to theirs), they can tell when Frisk's determined, what they're thinking about in some acts (Madjick's clear mind thing, I believe) "this soul resonates with a strange feeling" etc. so in Genocide they can feel all the hate/anger/whatever motivates Frisk to kill a species. With that and either no memories of their own or the most recent memory of their own being a lot of physical pain and their best friend betraying them, why would they combat it when Frisk starts murdering everything? After everything the world did to them, why wouldn't they give up and decide to destroy it? They didn't not want us to murder everyone, they just wouldn't default to that if Frisk wasn't awful in Geno.

For the last part, uh. A human's "essence" is supposed to be in their soul, isn't it? But Chara's stayed in their body somehow, probably because they fused with Asriel and monsters' essences are in their dust. So they were unconsciously (...I hope. Asriel was before he woke up) lingering around in their grave, and then a human with a red soul fell down, and their essence latched onto that because it's close to where it's supposed to be?
