I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  I don't think it
makes sense to process already-formatted text (from the nroff
run) with groff again.  It's also unclear whether your error
messages are from the "nroff" or the "groff -Thtml" process.
(Btw, "nroff" is basically "groff -Tascii" or "groff -Tlatin1"
or "groff -Tutf8".)

You could try

  groff -ms -Thtml file.tr >file.html


Also, you have several lines beginning with an apostrophe.
The apostrophe is by default the no-break control character,
so groff complains about an undefined macro it thinks you're
trying to call.  You should substitute apostrophes which are
meant to be left quotes by "`" (character code 96 in ASCII)
or "\[oq]" (or "\[lq]" if you want double quotes).
