Attached a strange effect I got. The second row is displayed wrongly. The third is the same row, but with a \crlf added. This displays correctly. But I am wondering why it is needed.

Then set the alignment with \bTD in your \StartTable command or just use normal table commands.

\startsetups mytable
  \setupTABLE[header][align=middle,style=bold]
  \setupTABLE[start][align=normal]
  \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right,width=.30\textwidth]
  \setupTABLE[c][2][width=.70\textwidth]
\stopsetups

\starttext

\bTABLE[setups=mytable]
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTD[nx=2] The most important commands \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\bTR
  \bTD \type{\completecontent} \eTD
  \bTD This generates a Table of Content. Should be the first statement of a document. \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
  \bTD \type{\startchapter[title=chapterName]} \eTD
  \bTD Starts a chapter with the named title. Is ended with \type{\stopchapter}. \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
  \bTD \tex{startchapter [title=chapterName]} \eTD % space needed!
  \bTD Starts a chapter with the named title. Is ended with \tex{stopchapter}. \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE

\stoptext
