What does one ton-force (short)/sq. foot represent?

It is a unit of pressure equal to one short ton-force (2000 pounds-force) spread over one square foot.

Why convert from ton-force (short)/sq. foot to millimeter water (4°C)?

Converting allows translating large customary pressure values into very small, precise pressures used in scientific and calibration contexts.

Is ton-force (short)/sq. foot an SI unit?

No, it is a customary unit primarily used in North America and is not part of the International System of Units.
