What does the unit newton meter/second represent?

Newton meter per second is a power unit representing the rate of doing work or transferring energy, equivalent to one joule per second or one watt.

Where is MBtu (IT)/hour mainly used?

MBtu (IT)/hour measures heat transfer rates and is commonly used in HVAC equipment rating, industrial heating, and building energy management.

Why is the conversion between newton meter/second and MBtu (IT)/hour approximate?

Because the units measure different types of power—mechanical versus thermal—and the conversion relies on defined equivalencies between watts and MBtu (IT)/hour.
