As the question states, I'm trying to translate “They mistakenly charged both
the school and me for the same thing.”

According to this link
(<https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E5%90%8C%E3%81%98%E4%BA%8B>), “The same
thing” can be translated as 「同じ事」.

Also, according to this link (<https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/charge>), the
example “He always charges me too much for his goods,” can be translated as
「彼はいつも品物に対し高すぎる値段を請求する」. That example seems to come pretty close to my
question.

However, I am stumped with “Both the school and me”. I've looked at the
different translations for “Both” and “And”, but they don't seem to cover the
situation I have.

Do you know a good way to translate it?

What is a good way to translate “They mistakenly charged both the school and me for the same thing”?
誤って同じ事に、私も学校も請求されてしまいました。

(Substitute 事 with 物, サービス, or whatever suits your situation best).

You could say...

(rather literally) 「（[Company]が、）[同]{おな}じものに[対]{たい}して、｛[誤]{あやま}って or
[間違]{まちが}って｝[学校]{がっこう}と[私]{わたし}の[両方]{りょうほう}に[請求]{せいきゅう}(を)してきた。」

or...

(a bit more naturally)
「[手違]{てちが}いで、[学校]{がっこう}と[私]{わたし}の[両方]{りょうほう}に[同]{おな}じものに[対]{たい}する[請求]{せいきゅう}が｛来た
or あった}。」
