Are kilocalorie (IT)/kilogram/°C and kilocalorie (IT)/kilogram/K values different?

No, the numerical values are the same because one degree Celsius and one kelvin represent the same temperature interval size.

Is this conversion suitable for all thermal energy calculations?

It is suitable for calorie-based systems but does not replace conversions needed when mixing calorie and joule units in calculations.
