This is just completely wrong, you're in the installer and have sdb3 mounted at / instead of /mnt assuming that's where you want to install arch

#

Please practice installing arch in a vm before installing it on hw

i remember accidentally triple booting the pc of a friend of mine. it had ubuntu and windows, and then i installed arch on it. mounting it under /boot and installing grub just stopped the other bootloaders which didnt break anything as all things booted properly through that one efi partition

You boot mint, install a virtual machine management program like gnome-boxes or virt-manager, and then practice there

high jetty

actually. nevermind what i said. do this ^

You can leave it like it's now and then when you start installing arch you can reformat it or delete existing files, assuming that's where you want to install arch
