네, 이 문장에서는 비슷해요. :)
다만, there's a slight difference in the meaning btwn the two words.
~까지(until, til) tends to emphasize the moment it ends.

미아씨 도와주셔서 고맙습니다. 네, 재미있게 공부해요. 질문이 있는데 토록 이란 단어는 까지 와 비슷한 의미인가요?

Hi Ellie! :)
1) '~토록' has a meaning of 'as much as ~' or 'to the extent of ~'.
2) '~리'is a contraction of '~리라' and it's smiliar to 'will' or 'shall'.
We don't really use this in a casual conversation.
You could find these words only in a poem or a song.
So, for example
나는 당신을 영원토록 사랑하리(라).
= I'll love you forever.
I hope you enjoy studying Korean! :)
