Why is 1 °C considered equal to 1 K in this conversion?

Because temperature increments of 1 degree Celsius and 1 kelvin represent the same magnitude of temperature change, allowing direct conversion for specific heat capacity units.

Can this tool convert data from all calorie definitions?

No, it specifically applies the thermochemical calorie definition and converts precisely to International Table kilocalorie units; other calorie definitions require caution.
