I was getting a "shift" function type of output.
It took some work to get the numbers lined up right.
The signs in the two triangular sequences still come up different!

Clear[p, a, b]
p[0, x] = 1; p[1, x] = x - 1;
p[k_, x_] := p[k, x] = p[k - 1, x] - x^2*p[k - 2, x]
Table[Expand[p[n, x]], {n, 0, 10}]
Table[Sum[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x][[m]], {m, 1, n + 1}], {n, 0, 20}]
w = Table[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x], {n, 0, 20}]
Flatten[w]
MatrixForm[w]
An[d_] := Table[If[n == d, -w[[n]][[m]], If[m == n, 1, 0]], {n, 2, d}, {m,
     1, d - 1}]
Table[An[d], {d, 2, 19}]
Table[CharacteristicPolynomial[An[d], x], {d, 2, 19}]
b = Join[{{1}},
      Table[CoefficientList[CharacteristicPolynomial[An[d], x], x], {d, 
2, 19}]]
Flatten[%]
MatrixForm[b]
