In the first query

select id, avg(value) over (partition by value) from values where id = 50 order by id;

the avg() calculations are being done over only rows with id = 50.  In
the second query

select * from (select id, avg(value) over (partition by value) from values  order by id) foo where id = 50;

they are being done over all rows.  In this particular example you
happen to get the same result, but that's just because "avg(foo) over
partition by foo" is a dumb example --- it will necessarily just yield
identically foo.  In more realistic computations the results would be
different.
