Comments

Consider the Catalan triangle A009766 antisymmetrically extended by a mirror along the diagonal (see also A176239):

0, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1,

1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6,

1, 1, 0, -2, -5, -9, -14, -20,

1, 2, 2, 0, -5, -14, -28, -48,

1, 3, 5, 5, 0, -14, -42, -90,

1, 4, 9, 14, 14, 0, -42, -132,

1, 5, 14, 28, 42, 42, 0, -132,

1, 6, 20, 48, 90, 132, 132, 0.

The rows in this array are essentially the columns of T(n,k).

Formula

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) = A057079(n-1).

Apparently T(3s,2s-2) = (-1)^(s+1)*A000245(s), s >= 1.
