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! :)
