Was there actually ever a package called “NewtFrotz” or was it just a nickname for YAZI?

YAZI was likely based on the Frotz interpreter (which was written in highly portable C code).

From Wikipedia:

“Popular interpreters include Nitfol and Frotz. Nitfol makes use of the Glk API [...] Frotz was written in C by Stefan Jokisch in 1995 for DOS. Over time it was ported to other platforms, such as Unix-like systems, RISC OS, and iOS.”
