(I also note that C shows a Vino Volo, which is a pleasant place to spend 30 to 45 minutes, if need be.)
TSA rules only require a same-day boarding pass. So they may try to turn you away because they think you’re lost, if they do so just tell them you’re going to the lounge. They should let you through. If they don’t, you should feel free to ask to speak with a TSA supervisor. Or just go to the Vino Volo. (If they have one, it’s new to be; I don’t recall seeing it.)
As for how long to allot to get back to C, the walk is easy, but the length of the line can vary significantly. They do usually have both a pre-check lane and a premium lane if that helps.
