You may: Not need an orthotic. You may need a heel lift to rest the tendon. I suggest you see a podiatrist.

Best OTC insole: For achilles tendinitis i often recommend an of the shelf insole. I am not a dr. Scholls fan since they don't offer good control. I recommend powerstep, spenco, and superfeet.

No: You really need to see a doctor.If you are going to use an orthotic it needs to be firm and be able to elevate the heel.
