tex.print() does not handle the %s.   context() does.
So just replace tex.print() by context().
Right, this also works
\starttext
\startluacode
function draw_table(unicode_start,n_columns)
  for i=0,0xF do
    tex.print('\\dontleavehmode\\definedfont[Serif at 20pt]\\kern0pt')
    for j=0,n_columns do
      context('\\hbox to 1.5em{\\hss %s
\\hss}',unicode.utf8.char(unicode_start+i*16+j))
    end
    tex.print('\\crlf')
  end
end
draw_table(0x00C0,4)
\stopluacode
\stoptext
without backslashes:

function draw_table(unicode_start,n_columns)
     context.start()
     context.definedfont{"Serif at 20pt"}
     for i=0,0xF do
         context.dontleavehmode()
         for j=0,n_columns do
         --  context('\\hbox to 1.5em{\\hss 
%s\\hss}',unicode.utf8.char(unicode_start+i*16+j))
             context.hbox(false,"to 1.5em")
             context.bgroup()
             context.hss()
             context(unicode.utf8.char(unicode_start+i*16+j))
             context.hss()
             context.egroup()
         end
         context.crlf()
     end
     context.stop()
end

cleaner:

function draw_table(unicode_start,n_columns)
     context.start()
     context.definedfont { "Serif at 20pt" }
     context.starttabulate { 
string.format("*{%s}{|w(1.5em)}|",n_columns+1) }
     for i=0,0xF do
         context.NC()
         for j=0,n_columns do
             context(unicode.utf8.char(unicode_start+i*16+j))
             context.NC()
         end
         context.NR()
     end
     context.stoptabulate()
     context.stop()
end
