What does 1 megajoule/second represent in terms of power?

It represents one million joules transferred or converted every second, equivalent to one megawatt.

When should I use calorie (IT)/hour as a unit?

It is used to express very small steady heat flow rates in laboratory calorimetry, material testing, or to interpret historical data using calories.

Why does converting from MJ/s to cal/h produce very large numbers?

Because calorie (IT)/hour measures very small heat flow rates, so converting large power units like MJ/s results in very large equivalent values.
