1. There is a space between the columns which has to taken into account
when you set the width of the columns, in your example your tables has a
width of textwidth plus the distance between the columns.
2. \textwidth doesn’t in the argument for the items but you can use the
\localhsize length to get the current width of the text block.
3. You can let ConTeXt calculate the width of the second column which
saves you from guessing the needed value for the column width.
4. You don’t need braces around the content for the items.
\showframe
\starttext
\startitemize[n,3*broad]
\startitem
\input ward
\starttabulate[|cp(.25\localhsize)|cp|]
\FL
\NC Column A \NC Column B \NC \NR
\ML
\NC 1 \NC 2 \NC \NR
\NC 2 \NC 3 \NC \NR
\NC 3 \NC 4 \NC \NR
\NC 4 \NC 5 \NC \NR
\NC 5 \NC 6 \NC \NR
\LL
\stoptabulate
\input ward
\stopitem
\stopitemize
\stoptext
