What is the exact conversion factor between these units?

One kilocalorie (th)/second equals 59959.873889367 calorie (IT)/minute based on defined conversion standards.

Can this tool be used for transient heat transfer conditions?

No, the conversion assumes steady state and uniform heat transfer rates, so it may not be suitable for transient situations.
