I just did this (the conversion) recently so it was on my mind. This provides the week number as a string, not a number, and does based on “now,” but it should give you what you want.

Week number in ISO of beginning of this week based on a Monday week start:
(format-time-string "%V" (nth 0 (org-clock-special-range 'thisweek nil nil 1)))

Week number in ISO of end of this week based on a Monday week start:
(format-time-string "%V" (nth 1 (org-clock-special-range 'thisweek nil nil 1)))
