Litecoin: swap limits, timing and where it goes
Litecoin does the thing Bitcoin does, faster and for less, which makes it one of the more sensible assets to move a small amount with. Blocks come several times more often, so the confirmation wait before a swap begins is short, and the sending fee stays small enough not to dominate a modest transfer.

Where Litecoin goes, and from how little
The minimum for each destination, in the unit you are sending. Read live, because it moves with the price and a figure written down goes stale quickly.

Two address formats, both valid
Litecoin has an older address style and a newer one, and wallets differ in which they show by default. Both are real Litecoin addresses; what matters is copying the one the order actually gave you rather than assuming a format.
Cheap to send is not the same as cheap to swap
The sending fee and the swap floor are different numbers. Litecoin is cheap on the first and the table above tells you the second, which varies by where you are going rather than by where you are starting.
