The formula given below is clear from the programs given in the Maple and Mathematica sections, while the g.f. for column k can be obtained using standard techniques.
If we differentiate the column k g.f. m times, then we can get a formula for row m. (For this sequence, we only need to use this row m formula for 1 <= k <= m, but it is valid even for k>m.) For example, to get the formula for row 8, we have T(n=8,k) = d^8/dx^8 (column k g.f.)/8! evaluated at x=0. Here, "d^8/dx^8" means "8th derivative w.r.t. x" of the column k g.f. Doing so, we get T(n=8, k) = (k^6 - k^5 + k^4 + 3*k^3 + 2*k^2 - 2*k + 4)*(k + 1)*k/16, which is the formula given for sequence A060560. (Here, we use this formula only for 1 <= k <= 8.)

From Petros Hadjicostas, Nov 29 2017: (Start)
T(n,k) = ((1+k)*k^{n/2}/2 + (1/n)*Sum_{d|n} phi(n/d)*k^d)/2, if n is even, and = (k^{(n+1)/2} + (1/n)*Sum_{d|n} phi(n/d)*k^d)/2, if n is odd.
G.f. for column k: (1/2)*((k*x+k*(k+1)*x^2/2)/(1-k*x^2) - Sum_{n>=1} (phi(n)/n)*log(1-k*x^n)) provided we chop off the Taylor expansion starting at x^k (and ignore all the terms x^n with n<k).

2*n*T(n,k) = A054618(n,k)+n*(1+k)^(n/2)/2 if n even, = A054618(n,k)+n*k^((n+1)/2) if n odd. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 23 2022

For example, when n=k=3, we have the following T(3,3)=10 bracelets of 3 beads using up to 3 colors: 000, 001, 002, 011, 012, 022, 111, 112, 122, and 222. (Note that 012 = 120 = 201 = 210 = 102 = 021.) Petros Hadjicostas, Nov 29 2017
