What is the estimated time it takes to migrate to Cassandra Cluster per GB, using the Online migration tool? What factors are involved here? I want to have an estimate on how long it might take for the migration to complete before I start.

This is impossible to predict, as latency, amount of separate tables, disk writing speed, network speed etc. all has an effect on how fast the migration will go.
There is a migration SPI you can subscribe to that will return the current migration speed in rows/s during migration though, so you can use this to get an estimation.
This migration speed is also visible in the SLDBConnection logging (you may have to turn on a higher log level though).
