Am I right in thinking a tv sender is what I need?
Yes

Are they compatible with TiVo?
Yes, I use a Nikkai model that I bought from Maplins

Am I able to control the box via the sender or would I be limited to the channel it is left on?
Yes, they come with a blaster that you place next to the infrared reciever on the Tivo box. The one on your link has two inputs so you could also connect a dvd, blu ray etc.

Are there any recommended senders that I use?
Haven't bought one for quite a while but I would advise getting one that operates on 5.8Ghz rather than 2.4 as this avoids interference with your/neighbourswi-fi.

Also go on e-bay for a cheap additional tivo remote control, very convenient! saves having to remember to take it to bed with you.
