What does cubic inch per second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point each second.

Where is cubic yard per second commonly used?

It is used in hydraulic engineering and civil projects for large-scale flow rates like river discharge.

Why might the conversion produce very small decimal numbers?

Because cubic inch per second measures small flows and cubic yard per second much larger flows, the converted value is often very small.
