@Papa Bear: you want a plain old 1541 drive, the medium brown one that matches the original C64. Once you have it, you can then obtain (or build) an X-1541 series cable to interface that 1541 to your PC, and transfer disk images or individual programs from the internet to a disk.
The 1551 disk drive (shown in the Plus/4 manual as the SFS drive) was only sold in Europe. Any programs that require the 1551, as opposed to the 1541, will have PAL/NTSC issues. It's much easier to download a 1541 or NTSC version from this site.
Commodore monitors 1701, 1702, 1801, 1802, 1901, and 2002 will all work with the Plus/4. So will any tube-type monitor or television that has RCA inputs (yellow, red, white). The more difficult task may be locating the correct cable, to go from the Plus/4 to the monitor you choose.
