Yep, a Unidisk 3.5 is the right (and only) drive.
You don't need additional software (at least if you just want to run
ProDOS applications). ProDOS will recognize the drive automatically.

However your //c must not have the very old ROMs. From the FAQs:

Go into Basic and type "PRINT PEEK (64447)" and press return.  If it says 255,
 you have a very old //c.  See your dealer about getting an upgrade (tell
them that the Apple authorization number is ODL660). If it says 0, you can
connect a 3.5" drive, but you don't have the memory expansion connector. If
it says 3 You have the memory expansion.  If it says 4, you have the latest
model of the //c.  If it says 5, you have a //c+.
