Anarchy is a political structure where there’s basically no one in charge, right?

That's a very literal interpretation of the word. As I understand it, anarchy is more like a class of ideas, rather than any concrete idea. Two people who both call themselves anarchists can have very, very different ideas about how society should run.

So the answer is: it depends what kind of anarchy you're talking about. Your question is asking how a broad category would work but it's so broad that I don't think you can give a concrete answer. You'll need to be more specific.

    Yeah, it's a goal, not a method. Even with a democracy/republic, there are so many different versions of it that exist. Is there a parliament? Is there a central leader? Who can vote? What happens if people can't agree on who should be in charge?

    Anarchism is a large set of ideals. There are a lot of people who have thought about how to make it work. Any issue people have with it, I promise you it's been considered. Everyone probably won't agree on what the solution should be (because that's always the case), but it has been thought about.
