Two options:

1 - Ask for a ticket to Bluewater. Get off at Greenhithe and get the
shuttle bus

2 - Get a ticket to Dartford, then get a fast track bus to Bluewater.

Why does the TfL journey planner suggest taking two trains and a bus from
Lewisham when I want to go from Charing Cross to Bluewater Shopping
Centre?

One journey suggested is

11:22 Charing Cross Rail Station
Take Southeastern towards Gillingham (Kent) Rail Station

12:19 Greenhithe Rail Station
Take Southeastern towards Charing Cross

13:32 Lewisham Stop: G
Take Route Express bus 022 towards Harbour

Bluewater Bus Station
Walk to Bluewater Shopping Centre

14:05 Bluewater Shopping Centre

But if I read the Southeastern timetable correctly the 11:22 form Charing
Cross goes directly to Greenhithe for Bluewater.

Question number 2:
How can I find out how much this journey (Charing Cross - Greenhithe) will
cost me? I have a 7 day zone 1-6 travelcard on Oyster.

I tried this once, but they couldn't find the fare.

The bus only[1] costs a quid and I doubt that the inclusive
fare is any different than the sum of parts.

[1] Actually, I think that it was a lot given the distance involved
but in ticketing terms is probably the minimum worth
accounting for.

Presumably the concept of anyone wanting to visit an out of town shopping
centre by public transport is considered a bit eccentric!
