This fluid combination of '1' and 'C' represents one hundred.

The sign itself incorporates the '1' handshape right before the 'C'. So, by signing '1' then 'C', you are already saying 'one hundred' in a single, fluid motion.
Yes, a slight pull-back motion toward your shoulder or body as you form the 'C' handshape is standard. It helps emphasize the sign and makes the transition from the number to the 'C' look natural.
