Is there a specific adapter for usb c ( 2017 MacBook Pro 25”) to Ethernet port on 2011 13@ MacBook Pro? Or would usb c to thunder bolt port in the old Mac be better for file transfers?

Use USB-C in Target Disk Mode:

To transfer, use the appropriate adapters, and then perform the transfer in Target Disk Mode. See your Options here: Transfer Files Between two Mac Computers Using Target Disk Mode - Apple Support
