When typing "format c:" in the recovery console do you get a full format or
quick format? What command do I type in to get a quick format?

When working with command line commands, always
try to get help by typing

format /? (for example)

In most cases this shows you all the available options.
It certainly works for format!

Use the /q parameter:

format c: /q
