tradition mostly. actually some schematics did use "t" for transistor, but this can be confused with transformer which use "t" by tradition.

How many transistors can be fit on to one chip on an integrated circuit?

Depends on the complexity of the logic it's planned for... People talk about 'millions' of transistors to highlight the importance of ICs. For instance in a motor driver IC, there's nothing but a H-bridge used to control the path of current across the motor. Mainly 4 transistors are involved. In advance, to avoid unnecessary current flowing possibilities, for the sake of safety logic gates (simple ones) are built in. (Logic gates are also built with transistors, just few.) So, overall there'll be only 10 (just assume) transistors. But in complicated ICs there could be hundreds, millions of transistors..like in a microprocessor.

What does a transistor do?

Depending on how the transistor is biased and various other circuits connected to it, a transistor acts as an amplifier and/or switch. When acting as an amplifier the circuit containing the transistor can do things like transmit or receive radio signals, perform analog mathematical calculations, generate waveforms, etc. When acting as a switch the circuit containing the transistor can do things like turn on/off a light, turn on/off a motor, perform digital logic or mathematical operations, fetch and decode computer instructions, etc. Exactly what a transistor can do is really only limited by the system requirements and the designer's imagination as to how to meet those requirements. There are several different types of transistors: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), field effect transistors (FETs), unijunction transistors (UJTs), programmable unijunction transistors (PUJTs), spacitors, surface barrier transistors (SBTs), tetrode transistors (TTs), point contact transistors (PCTs), etc.

What do transistors do in a circuit?

Transistors provide most of the activities a circuit needs to operate. In their most basic representation, transistors are amplifiers. That is, they take and amplify a signal from the level produced by a microphone and amplify it enough to blast it out through a speaker. Transistors are also used on decision making circuits, like electronic gates and Central Processing Units (CPUs). Solid state, electronic systems like desktop computers, cell phones, and GPS devices would not be possible without transistors.
