So, the way I understand the rules, this is possible if you have Extra Attacks: Attack #1, move, Bonus Action, move, Attack #2.
But not: Attack #1, take a Bonus Action while moving, Attack #2.
PS. Not sure if this should be a separate thread.
The discussion directly impacts the viability of Charger with Feinting Attack.
My assumption is that it behaves as you describe, but I think it is worth asking explicitly since I also assumed that Bonus Actions could not interrupt Actions due to Only One Thing At A Time until you convinced me otherwise.
This would make Feinting Attack incompatible with the charge, but something that could be used as a follow up afterwards between attacks when repositioning for multiple charges would be difficult (against one opponent, it typically will be).
Assuming action refers to one of the Actions: this is a very strange rule. This only actually tells you that you can't do the two actions from action surge at once, but we have the simultaneous effects rule. Therefore, this is either fluff, or refers to the english definition of action of "a thing done".

"I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation."
"Well of course I know that. What else is there? A kitten?"
"You'd like to think that, Wouldn't you?"
"A duck."
"What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"

Or Haste. There may be other ways to get additional actions in a turn, even if what they can be used for is restricted.

Ok, nice!

Let's see what other adventurers think around here! ;)
In reading everyone's comments, it sounds like an argument could be made that Feinting attack could be used during the Charge Attack action, since it's a bonus action and the lack of a timing specification could make it viable to use during the course of the action. An argument can also be made that it can't be used during the Charge Attack action. I may try it out and see if the DM allows it... Our DM is a first time DM, so she may allow it.

I would discuss it ahead of time and mention the pros and cons. Then, if she is unsure about the call, suggest trying it out with it working for a few sessions. And, if taking Charger is conditional on it working, ask if you can change it out if she decides not to allow it later.

This is the rule in question:
