What does one newton per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of pressure equivalent to one pascal, representing force applied per unit area.

Where is ton-force (long) per square foot commonly used?

It is often used in civil engineering, shipbuilding, and heavy industry contexts involving legacy imperial units.

Why might there be inaccuracies converting between these units?

Because ton-force (long)/square foot involves approximations, and imperial to metric conversions are approximate by nature.
