Default New clutch= new flywheel?

Fried my clutch and am looking at getting a Spec 3+, got a quote from a local shop but they said I would have to replace the flywheel and the clutch at the same time. Does that sound right?

yep...generally you can get a kit with both, but replacing them at the same time is very common

Yes! Don't try to have the stock flywheel resurfaced. Spec even states to use their flywheel.Better to get a new flywheel and not have to worry about possible problems.
