I understand that converting from traditional to Roth 'creates' taxable income.

Can I offset that 'income' with capital losses from this year and capital loss carry overs from previous years?

I believe that you have ordinary income upon conversion, not cap gain.  Therefore, you would only be able to offset $3,000 of capital loss against it.
