Yes, the My Passport - for Mac (2TB) is perfectly suited as a Time Machine hard drive for the Mac. It is designed to work directly with Apple Time Machine and is ready to use without any additional configuration.

This hard drive would have a cable to USB A, but is NOT an SSD! I recommend the "Samsung T7 Shield", which also has cables for USB A (and C). First, simply format it with the hard drive programme for Mac.
Yes, no problem. It is best to format it as "exFAT", both operating systems understand this. You can do this with Apple's hard disk utility, for example.
My goodness. It comes with a USB-A cable and a USB-C adapter. So you can connect it to a MAC in any case. You can see the scope of delivery here:

Taking a running hard drive in your hand is a very bad idea. This is not an SSD but a mechanical hard drive with rotating disks (!). There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding. You can't get an SSD at this price.
This works without any problems with any MAC. The USB standard is still the same.
Helpful answer
Yes it is. :) Basically, all hard disks are compatible with any operating system. All you have to do is format them with the correct file format that the operating system understands.
The packaging says Compatible with macOS Catalina, Mojave or High Sierra.

An adapter is included with the MY PASSPORT ULTRA FOR MAC hard disk from USB-C to USB-normal.

Hello Chaehni
I also have this hard drive in use with Time Machine on my Mac and they all run on Catalina and the hard drive works fine. Greetings

Yes USB Type C See specifications
That should work so very close to the border.
I connected this hard drive to my MacBook Pro 2018 and connected a current meter OEM USB voltmeter with OLED display blue transparent (voltmeter) (currently no longer available at digitec, but similar...) in between and observed it for a while.
Idle state approx. 150 to 200 mA
Read/write approx. 400 to 480 mA
In single measurements up to 510 mA!
A USB 2 connection should be able to supply 500 mA.
But the old MacBooks have more than one USB port. So to be sure, I would use a USB Y-cable. Then 1000 mA are available for the drive and there are certainly no dropouts at peak loads at the 500 mA limit.
For example a
Delock USB Y-cable (A - A, 0.30m, 3.0)
But there's something else!
You write that you want to replace your MacBook. As of OSX CATALINA, external boot disks are only supported with APFS formatting. APFS on hard disks is up to 20x slower!!! Tried it, is so, and here is an article about it.

So for MACs in future only use SSDs as external USB storage!
Good luck!
Yes it works with any macOS.
Yes, it works perfectly
