The line height can't be change as it is hard-coded in the book to a specific value. The line spacing controls are setting a scale to be used for the book. If the line heights in the book use relative values (em, %) they will be scaled by this. If they use absolute values (px), they will not be scaled. I'm pretty sure that if you set the minimum line height to 0 in the conversion, it will remove the existing line heights. And I think setting it to 120% tells the conversion to use whatever is in the book unchanged.

I'm not an expert on the conversion. If I find strangeness, I usually edit the book and fix it. For the line height, I usually remove it from the "normal" paragraph and body styles and change any others to em. That usually scales nicely. On the device, the line height is always at the minimum.
