What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

It is a pressure unit equal to one newton of force applied over one square millimeter, which exactly equals one megapascal.

When should I use femtopascal for pressure?

Femtopascal is used to express extremely low pressures such as those in high-vacuum experiments or interstellar gas pressures.

Why does converting N/mm² to fPa result in such large numbers?

Because one newton per square millimeter equals 10²¹ femtopascal, creating very large values when converting typical engineering stresses.
