The victim player controls Charnas, and would be the one to pay for the
contest (yeah, right :-).

After the 'employ retainer' action is completed (which is after the
victim is chosen). Before the action is completed, Charnas (the second
copy) is not yet in play.
>Who has first option to yield control of a contested card?
Whoever gets to their untap phase first. Yielding is only done during
untap (or as specified by Praxis Solomon).

The victim player controls Charnas. Far Mastery does not bestow any means
of placing the retainer on a different minion, so whoever uses Far Mastery
is Charnas' new host. Charnas can only be placed when employed or (as
per card text) when his current host is burned.
