I don't want to be bad, but a quick google can answer this question. If you add the year of manufacture of your Macbook Air, a corresponding tutorial will surely come up.

I have installed an EVO 970 1TB in a "Transcend Enclosure Kit". Unfortunately, my MacBook does not recognise the memory.

The Transcend Enclosure Kit only supports M.2 SATA SSD's and not M.2 NVMe SSD's like this one. The following product fits this product: Raidsonic ICY BOX ext. M.2 NVMe Enclosure IB-1816M-C31 (M.2 2230, M.2 2242, M.2 2260, M.2 2280)

Is it normal that this SSD gets relatively warm in continuous operation (not idle)? CrystalDiskInfo is crying my ears off because the temperature rises to approx. 60°C. When idle, the temperature quickly drops back to ambient temperature.

According to this link, the operating temperature is specified from 0 - 70 °C https://www.samsung.com/ch/memory-storage/970-evo-nvme-m-2-ssd/MZ-V7E250BW/ If your system allows it, I would advise you to use something like this: Aqua Computer kryoM.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD Adapter with Passive Cooler I have equipped all my ssd with this myself and have had good experiences.
