This question might be dum. I am a beginner for typescript. In file A, I want to call a function defined in file B. How do I do this?

Use the appropriate import and export statements.
Given the following file layout:
├── a.ts
└── b.ts
a.ts
import {myFn} from 'b';
myFn();
b.ts
export function myFn() {
/* ... */
}

... as an extension to the question, based on a configuration file e.g. targetFn='myFn', how would you call targenFn() and have it invoke the named code?

You need to export the function in the file:
// File B
export function exampleFunction() {}
You can then import it in the other file for use:
// File A
import { exampleFunction } from 'path/to/fileb';

First you need to export the function:
a.ts:
function sum() {}
export sum
Now you just need to import that:
b.ts
import { sum } from "path to file"
