Is it permissible for someone donating an ongoing charity (ṣadaqah jāriyah) to intend it for three people (the deceased father, the living mother, and the donor himself), or must the intention be limited to only one person? And is it permissible for the donor to wish for a worldly benefit from this charity without losing its reward?

There is no objection to including more than one person in the reward of ongoing charity ( jariyah) and other forms of charity. As for giving charity with the hope of worldly reward, this requires elaboration.
