Why are the converted values so small?

Because millimeter per minute measures very slow speeds and mile per second measures very high speeds, conversion yields very tiny decimal numbers.

In which fields is this conversion most relevant?

It is mostly used in aerospace engineering, spacecraft mission planning, CNC machining, metrology, and advanced physics research.

How do I perform the conversion manually?

Multiply the millimeter/minute value by 1.0356186537289e-8 to get the speed in mile/second.
