COMMENTS
Are there closed forms for diagonals and columns?
With the definition of the array, I note that the sequence (phi(k)) (phi(k)= g.f. of the column number k) is given by the recurrence relation: phi(k+1)=phi(k)*(1-z^k)/(1-2*z+z^(k+1)). The consequence is: the sequence number k+1 column is the convolution of the k-one and a "-acci like" sequence whose g.f. is given by (1-z^k)/(1-2*z+z^(k+1)). E.g., the 2-column is the convolution of the 1-column and the sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, ... classical Fibonacci sequence without the first 1. The 3-column is the convolution of the 2-column and 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, ... tribonacci like-sequence (exactly: A000073 without beginning 0, 0, 1). - Richard Choulet, Feb 19 2010
Relation to metallic means:
T(n,1)=1, k>1: T(n,k) = Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k-1) + 0*Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k)
has antidiagonal sums for which the limiting ratio tends to the golden ratio, A001622.
T(n,1)=1, k>1: T(n,k) = Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k-1) + 1*Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k)
has antidiagonal sums for which the limiting ratio tends to the silver ratio, A014176.
T(n,1)=1, k>1: T(n,k) = Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k-1) + 2*Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k)
has antidiagonal sums for which the limiting ratio tends to the bronze ratio, A098316.
A similar point can be made about variations of the Pascal triangle.

FORMULA
The g.f of the number k column is phi(k)(z) = (1/(1-z))*Product_{i=1..k-1}(1-z^i)/(1-2*z+z^(i+1)). - Richard Choulet, Feb 19 2010

11 | 1 10 354 1800 3334 3166 1794 640 142 18 1
Example: T(8,4) = 163 because it is the sum of the numbers:
10 6
21 22
40 64
For k=1, we obtain phi(k)(z)=1/(1-z) which is clear; for k=2, we obtain phi(k)(z)=1/(1-z)^2. For k=3, we obtain phi(3)(z)=(1+z)/((1-2*z+z^3)*(1-z)); this is A001891 without the beginning zero. - Richard Choulet, Feb 19 2010
