Can a character with Melee Reach 2 or 3 make an attack on an enemy when there is an allied character between the attacking character and the target? If so, does the target get cover from the attack? I've been wondering, as the target is considered adjacent, which would negate cover, but there's a character in between the attacker and the target, which would grant cover. Input would be appreciated, thanks.

With MR2/3, anyone within 2/3 squares is consider adjacent when you are attacking. No cover is added as they are not adjacent.

All characters within 2/3 are considered adjacent, so all are legal targets. And an adjacent enemy never gets cover.

i've been wondering how melee reach 2 works with savage characters. can they stop moving one square away? or do they actually have to been adjacent?

They must be adjacent. Melee Reach only applies when the character is attacking on their own turn, and thus would not be in effect when the character must move to meet the requirements of Savage.

But say if a Kintan Strider can move the full 12 toward the enemy and still ends up 2 squares away, can it use Charging Assault?

Assuming it is not possible to base another enemy of course...
