I looked at the book and it's more for graduate-advanced undergrad students.

Can someone recommend a more basic book on the topic of computation for someone with a rusty comp-sci/math undergrad background?

You could have a look at https://hefferon.net/computation which is certainly aimed at a broader audience.

Sipser is the canonical text for undergraduates.
