Why does 1 newton meter/second equal 1 watt?

Because a newton meter per second measures the rate of energy transfer and one newton meter equals one joule, this makes 1 newton meter per second equivalent to 1 joule per second, or 1 watt.

When should I convert newton meter/second to milliwatt?

Convert to milliwatt when working with low power electronic, optical, or RF devices where expressing power in smaller units improves clarity and comparison.

Are newton meter/second and milliwatt used in the same contexts?

Not always; newton meter/second is often used for mechanical power, while milliwatt is common for electrical or optical power, so consider the application context before converting.
