COMMENTS
For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. The Bell transform of {(-m)^m | m >= 0} is A039621. The numbers A039621(n, k) are known as the Lehmer-Comtet numbers of 2nd kind. We think it is more natural to use Bell_{n, k}({m^m}) as the basis for the definition (and let the triangle start at (0, 0)).

FORMULA
T(n, k) = Bell_{n, k}(A000312), where Bell_{n, k} is the partial Bell polynomial evaluated over the powers m^m (with 0^0 = 1). See the Mathematica program.
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k-1} (-1)^j*(n-j-1)^(n - 1)/(j! * (k-1-j)!) for 0 <= k < n and T(n, n) = 1.
T(n, k) = r(k-1, n-k, n-k) for n,k >= 1 and T(0, 0) = 1, where r(n, k, m) = m*r(n, k-1, m) + r(n-1, k, m+1) and r(n, 0, m) = 1. (see Vladimir Kruchinin's formula in A039621).
Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(k + x - 1, k-1)*(k-1)!*T(n, k) = (n + x)^(n - 1) for n >= 1.
Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+j)*Stirling1(k, j)*T(n, k) = n^(n-j)*binomial(n-1, j-1) for n >= 1, which are, up to sign, the coefficients of the Abel polynomials (A137452).
From Werner Schulte, Jun 14 2022 and Jun 19 2022: (Start)
E.g.f. of column k >= 0: (Sum_{i>0} (i-1)^(i-1) * t^i / i!)^k / k!.
Conjecture: T(n, k) = Sum_{i=0..n-k} A048994(n-k, i) * A048993(n+i-1, n-1) for 0 < k <= n and T(n, 0) = 0^n for n >= 0; proved by Mike Earnest, see link at A354797. (End)

MAPLE
T := (n, k) -> if n = k then 1 else
add((-1)^j*(n-j-1)^(n-1)/(j!*(k-1-j)!), j = 0.. k-1) fi:

# Alternatively, using the function BellMatrix from A264428:
BellMatrix(n -> n^n, 9);
# Or by recursion:
R := proc(n, k, m) option remember;
if k < 0 or n < 0 then 0 elif k = 0 then 1 else
m*R(n, k-1, m) + R(n-1, k, m+1) fi end:
A039621 := (n, k) -> ifelse(n = 0, 1, R(k-1, n-k, n-k)):
