What does kilocalorie (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of thermal power transfer as one thermochemical kilocalorie per second, corresponding exactly to 4184 watts.

How is kilojoule/minute different from kilocalorie (th)/second?

Kilojoule per minute measures power as energy transfer per minute, a different time scale and unit base compared to kilocalorie (th)/second.

Can I use this conversion for all calorie units?

No, this conversion specifically assumes thermochemical kilocalorie definitions and may not apply to other calorie types.
