My wife has a roughly 5 year old imac with a thunderbolt connection and the new one has a type c style thunder bolt connection.

What cable would I need to make the new use the old as a extended screen?

You should be okay as long as you follow the directions as given in the Apple article mentioned in Bob's reply to you. And yes, the Amazon cables should work, but if there is a problem you can always return them for a refund from Amazon.
