Agenda restrictions are awkward to work with.  I recommend using org-ql
for this sort of thing, since it's designed to do things like this.
This seems to work:

(defun nn/agenda-item-todos ()
  (interactive)
  (org-with-point-at (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker)
    (save-restriction
      (org-narrow-to-subtree)
      (org-ql-search (current-buffer)
        '(todo)
        :narrow t))))
