Also, if I can't really get a mnoitor, is there some kind of video card with video in that would work on my macbook and it will allow me to connect the apple II to it?

I imagine any video capture device which supports composite video should work, assuming it can display input to the Macbook's display in real time.

IIc and IIe monitors are fully interchangeable. The IIc monitor generally has a very bright and crisp picture... I prefer it to the IIe monitor or the colour composites.
