If the fork is bent, you should check the frame to make sure it is not damaged as well. Check the head tube/down tube junction for bumps, ripples, cracking paint.
The fork is 1" threaded, 700c. Threaded forks come with different length steerer tubes (the tube the goes in the frame). You will need to measure the length, and order appropriate one. You can cut a longer one down.
One thing that makes getting the right fork for your bike tricky, is that it has fat 32c tires, with a long reach caliper brake. Most 700c road forks for calipers are for shorter reach race brakes, that only fit skinnier 25-28c tires.
Since you want better brakes anyways, you might consider a cross or hybrid fork with cantilever brake bosses. This will have clearance for your fatter tires, and is a more powerful brake. You can use your existing brake lever, if they were not damaged.
You will need: allen key, 32mm headset wrench, hammer, punch, headset race seater, hacksaw, guide. Definitely go to a bike co-op for access to specialty tools.
Fork: $32
