a. Is it legal to take a passenger for a flight, if that passenger bid for the flight as part of a fund raising auction? (money went to school, and the flight was donated, ie paid for completely, by the pilot).

b. What would the legal ramifications be, if during the subsequent flight, something was to happen and the aircraft (hired from a school) was damaged, and or, the passenger was injured?
Pilot qualification PPL or CPL? Operated under the flying school's AOC? Planned private, aerial work or charter?

I think you answered your own question: "that passenger bid for the flight" so there was a financial consideration in exchange for the flight?

Refer my comment in this thread. Potentially a heap of heart ache for very little gain!

Why not ask a flying school to donate or discount a TIF to the charity and auction or sell tickets?
