drawdown refers to the difference between a high point in the balance of your trading account and the next low point of your account's balance, Drawdowns also describe the likely survivability of your system over the long run. A large drawdown puts an investor in an untenable position
and min pips on a trade is a different story, that shows type of the trading system.

I'm asking in the context of a single trade. The stats that the history tab's graph when you hover over it shows the "drawdown" of the trade, then also shows "Min:" of the trade in pip, then of course also "max:" of the trade in pips. I can't conceptually understand the difference between drawdown and min of the single trade.

DD is a dynamic number. Showing the equity drop in percent. It is equal to loss of all OPEN trades.
If the DD is 10% then equity is 100-10=90%.

Min pips on a trade is a nonsense.
Trade may have positive or negative pips. The amount is determined by distance from current price (or closing price) and opening price.
E.G. EURUSD open trade at 1.09000, current price is 1.09050. So the trade's pips is 5.0 or 50 pipettes

The difference between the low and high point of your trading account will be called drawdown. You can take a course or read about the basics on some website. Familiarise yourself with the terminology as that will help you better.

Yes, you are right. I agree with you.

Drawdown is the peak-to-trough decline during a specific period for an investment, trading account, or fund. It is the percentage between the peak and the subsequent trough. On the other hand, a pip is the smallest amount by which a currency quote can change.

It is always better to familiarise yourself with the terminology and concepts. It will only help you in the future and you won’t have to keep asking for help when you get stuck, good luck.

Drawdown means how much capital is used during a full trade (until closing the trade).

Those refer to risk management strategy, how much risk you take or are willing to take.
