I want to get a Thermapen.  Which one should I get?  

Also, will this work to measure of the surface of the pan?  If not, what works best for that?  Infrared thermometer?  What kind?

[I need to start cooking again or else I am going to turn into a blimp.]

I've never worried about the temperature of the surface fo the pan.  As to which thermapen, the cheaper one is good enough unless you can't wait a couple seconds

Thanks.

Once you push past the leidenfrost effect

Never heard of the leidenfrost effect until now, and had to look it up.  Although it is clearly the correct name for when I could plunge my hand into a bucket of liquid nitrogen for half a second without ill effect.
