Qu'est-ce que c'est [chose]?, Qu'est-ce que c'est que + [something] , Qu'est-ce que + [chose] all mean the same thing and they have the same level of formality, right? Am I understanding this correctly?

Bonjour Kiara,
"Qu'est-ce que + [chose]" tends to be more formal than the other two questions you've mentioned. And yes, they mean the same thing ;-)
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
