How do i get a list of all currently open charts, with their corresponding chart number? Along the same lines, for a given chart, how do i get a list of all studies + names?

This is not so well supported right now but longer-term there are improvements planned. There are currently these functions available:
sc.GetChartName()
sc.GetStudyNameFromChart()

You really just have to iterate through chart numbers starting at 1 and study ID starting at 1 and stop when there are no longer any charts or studies available with the specified number.

If i remember correctly, isn't it possible to have gaps in the numbering? For example, if i opened 3 charts, then closed chart 2, the GetChartName will return empty, even though there are more charts. I think the same thing can happen with studies. Is there a way to just get the total number of charts and studies?

Right now my iterator allows for a number of "missed" charts or studies before determining that I have iterated through all the charts/studies to compensate for the gaps.

Yes this is a detail that we did not explain and figured you would recognize. So you probably would want to stop iteration when you have maybe a gap of 10.

Is there a way to just get the total number of charts and studies?
No not currently.
