Yes,
it will return to you if you discard it to power an ability such as Theft. However, it does not return to the owner's hand. It returns to the table, in play.

Secondly, is a Boomdagger discarded from the hand as part of charity qualifiable for returning to the owner?

No. It has to be in play for its effect to work. It also has to be in use when it is lost. This is because Items must be in use for their powers to work.

Thirdly, I assume that a Cheat!ed Boomdagger loses its Cheat! if that Boomdagger leaves play, even if the Boomdagger comes back to its owner in the end.

Your assumption is correct.
