Dex save for half damage.   My question is, if it's cast in a 5 ft. wide corridor would a creature take damage by moving *through* the sphere on its turn and ending its turn more than 5 ft. away from the sphere? e.g. a creature is coming down the corridor at the caster.

Mainly because the spell says you can ram it into a creature, rather than moving it through a creature. I would say that if you ram yourself into the sphere, it counts the same as the sphere ramming into you.
