Is this ok for a sulcata tortoise enclosure?

Yes

Thank you so much I've been going crazy. Getting the lighting/heat correct is a nightmare. Definitely wasn't prepared but my son found this little guy & brought it home. So I'm currently learning as I go. Thanks again!

You should stick with reputable brands when using uvb bulbs, like arcadia or zoo med. I wouldn't consider most of the bulbs on Amazon as safe.

Which zoomed would you recommend?

I agree with Jaizei on this. ZooMed or Arcadia are both known reputable brands. They are known to be safe, reliable and effective. These off brands on Amazon are not the way to go.

I think I have seen @Alex and the Redfoot post about some concerning studies about those nonreputable brands. The quality just isn't as high and you might even get a dangerous stud.
