Part of the problem you are having is you are defining the 
function f to take as arguments the parameters you are asking 
NonlinearFit to find. That is f cannot depend on the arguments 
you supply as Nonlinear fit will replace them with numerical 
values determined by the data.

Perhaps you want something like the following

In[23]:=
f[x_, y_] := Evaluate[NonlinearFit[data,
      theta1*theta3*(x1/(1 + theta1*x1 + theta2*x2)),
      {x1, x2}, {theta1, theta2, theta3}]] /.
    Thread[{x1, x2} -> {x, y}]

In[24]:=
f[x,y]

Out[24]=
(2.442770155675669*x)/(3.1315052420200065*x +
    15.159362112360792*y + 1)

In[25]:=
f[1,2]

Out[25]=
0.0709072

Note, the built in function FindFit does everything NonlinerFit 
does. So, this same result could be obtained as:

In[27]:=
g[x_, y_] := (theta1*theta3*x)/(theta1*x + theta2*y +
      1) /. Evaluate[FindFit[data, (theta1*theta3*x1)/
       (theta1*x1 + theta2*x2 + 1), {theta1, theta2,
       theta3}, {x1, x2}]]

In[28]:=
g[x,y]

Out[28]=
(2.442770155675669*x)/(3.1315052420200065*x +
    15.159362112360792*y + 1)

In[29]:=
g[1,2]

Out[29]=
0.0709072
