When I get allies, does the ally army have to obey the given percentages for characters, war machines, rank and file troopers?URL Copied!

No, these restrictions are not applied to allies.
This means that two things:
The allied army is not a mini-army unto itself with restriction on 25% allied war machines, and 50% allied characters, etc.
The components of the allied army are not counted towards the percentages of the overall army. If the ally army contingent contains war machines, they do not count towards the 25% restriction on war machines for the entire army.
