Tyrians were people who came from the city of Tyre.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠בְנֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה

to,people Yehuda

Son of is a figurative expression that indicates that a person shares the qualities of something. In this case, Nehemiah is describing people who share the quality of being residents of the province of Judah. (In context, this does not seem to be limited to actual descendants of Judah, that is, Israelites from that tribe, since the Tyrians seem to have been eager to sell to anyone living in the area.) Alternate translation: “the people of Judah”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠בִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם

and,in/on/at/with,Jerusalem

The implication is that Jerusalem was the last place where anyone should have broken the Sabbath by doing work and engaging in commerce because it was the place from which God had chosen to start making himself famous throughout the world and the city where God had chosen to put his temple. (The concept is the same here as in 11:1 and 11:18, where Nehemiah calls Jerusalem “the holy city.”) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “even in Jerusalem, the special city that God chose”
