Question
For two spin-paired electrons that are in the same orbital, describe how the values for the first three quantum numbers (n, L, and mL) are related for the two electrons.
Is this because no other electron has the same quantum number?

Yes. n, l, and mL are the same BECAUSE one of the electrons is ms = +1/2 and the other one is ms = -1/2.
