How the chariot warfare actually looked like? Did they actually

Depends on who was using them.

I believe in the middle east they were proto-horse archers but in Celtic Britain they were used as you described.

The Persians used them as assault units to break formations and scatter infantry. However i do say it must have been more effective to use regular cavalry.

The Greeks lost the reasoning behind chariots and started to portray them as taxis in their plays.
You can see this in the Ilyad (if im not mistaken)

Archaic chariot warfare varied by region. Generally, there would be a rider who controlled the chariot, and an Archer who would fire from the chariot. This is only one method. Also, spokes sometimes stuck out from chariots' wheels, and could be used to keep foot soldiers at bay

-Shock cavalry (Persians, Pontids)
-Pursuit vehicle (Everyone)
-Others (The Late Roman Empire mounted Ballistae on chariots. Han China invented enclosed armored chariots to serve as mobile pilboxes during the Xiongnu Wars.)

Also fun fact OP: halberd style weapons first showed up in China due to chariots: the Ge (Dagger Axe), which either basically allowed an infantryman to fuck up a chariot's passengers, or allowed a charioteer to scythe an enemy charioteer in battle.

They progressively became longer until infantrymen started combining Ge with spears, forming the Ji (Halberd) which became the infantry's main weapon in ancient China.
