What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

It represents one newton of force applied over an area of one square millimeter and equals one megapascal.

Is this conversion suitable for low-pressure values?

No, because newton per square millimeter usually involves very high pressures while kilopascal is better for moderate pressures.
