Do evictions stay on your credit report forever or do they eventually come off like charge offs?

Evictions are not typically shown on credit reports with Equifax, Experian and Transunion.
If you were evicted, and the account was turned over to a collection agency; that collection account would show on your credit bureau report for 7 years from its' date of last activity (possibly longer). If a judgment was granted against you, that item would show for 7 years from the date the judgment was filed. It is possible to have both a "trade line" listing of the collection account and a judgment listed in the public records portion of your credit report. These entries would have different statute of limitations.
Once a legal action has been granted against you, that item continues in public records in the jurisdiction it was filed in. The statute of limitations for it reporting on your credit report applies only to the length of time it is shown on your credit, not its existence.
There are other databases which are often accessed by rental agencies and potential landlords. Called "tenant screening agencies", these companies maintain different files on renters and may have records of evictions. You would have to search applicable state law to find out what the statute of limitations is on information appearing in that database. They are not covered under the regulations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
I currently have an eviction I'm about to start paying on (it's 4 years old) and it's on my Transunion credit report (however does not show up on my Equifax) and is shown as a Public Record/Judgement. Be careful, it can show.

Can credit card companies keep a delinquent account open forever or do they all eventually become charge offs?
Most will eventually list the account as a charge off. Which means they remove the account from their books and take a loss in a tax write off. This does not release the debtor from the obligation of repayment. The account is usually sold to a third party collector. If that agency cannot reach a equitable agreement with the debtor, they may file a suit. Even if you do not hear from the creditor or collection agency for an extended length of time, you are not free of the debt. The SOL in most states is six years, (depending on the type of debt that is delinquent). Eventually it will become a charge off which is much worse for you! It will become a charge off and will be impossible to get it removed from your credit report. Remember, just because it is a charge off, it DOES NOT mean that you do not have to pay it and it looks a lot worse on your credit report!
