The normalizer of a $p$ sylow subgroup is itself
$begingroup$
By the orbit-stabilizer theorem since the action is transitive then an orbit ${gPg^{-1}: gin G} =n_p$ is equal to the number of $p$ sylow subgroups in a group $|G|=p^{alpha}s$ with $(p^alpha,s)=1$ and we get that $$|G/Stab_G(P)|=|G/{gin G: gPg^{-1}=P}|=frac{p^alpha s}{|N_G(P)|}=n_p text{ with } begin{cases} n_pequiv 1mod{p} \ n_pmid s end{cases}$$
The second condition on $n_p$ implies that $|N_G(P)|=p^beta$ for some $betalealpha$
The first condition seems imply that $|N_G(P)|=p^alphaimpliesbeta=alpha$
I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I'd like to know what characterizes a group that acts transitively/not transitively...

The statement that any two Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ are conjugate in $G$ is logically equivalent to the statement that the conjugation action of $G$ on its set of Sylow $p$-subgroups is transitive.

The transitivity of action on p-Sylow subgroups is one part of Sylow's theorem. As the action is by conjugation, this means any two p-Sylow subgroups are conjugate.

Ok but do you agree that the normalizer of a $p$-sylow subgroup is always itself? Because $|N_G(P)|=p^alpha$ and $Psubset N_G(P)$

No, that is nonsense. The cyclic group of order $6$ is a counterexample.

How do you get that the order of $N_G(P)$ must be a power of $p$?

The second condition implies that $lvert N_G (P) rvert = p^alphaleft(dfrac{s}{n_p}right)$.
This does not imply that $lvert N_G (P) rvert$ is a power of the prime $p$.
What it does imply, however (since $gcd (p^alpha, s) = 1$), is that the highest power of $p$ that divides the integer $lvert N_G (P) rvert$ is $p^alpha$.
P.S. The correct relationship between a $p$-Sylow subgroup $P$ of $G$ and its normaliser is that $[G:N_G (P)] = n_p$.
There is a bijection between all conjugates of $P$ (i.e. all the $p$-Sylow subgroups of $G$) and the left cosets of $N_G (P)$.
The bijection is $gPg^{-1} mapsto gN_G (P)$.
