...And yet another question: Was the RAF's night fighter GCI force
controlled in a similar manner to the Luftwaffe's 'Himmelbett'
fighters?

You answered your own question. GCI = Ground Controlled Interception.

Presumably the controller used the CHL radars to guide the fighters to
within a couple of miles of the target and on a chase course.

Was the success of the RAF's night fighter force compared to
Himmelbett simply due to the fact that the Luftwaffe wasn't sending
n-hundred-aircraft bomber streams over England, or was there a more
efficient structure in place?

Most accounts seem to refer to a lack of targets compared to a bomber
stream.
