How is TINYINT(1) converted to BOOL/BOOLEAN?
A tinyint column can hold values from 0 to 255 (if it is defined as unsigned) or -128 to +127 (if it is signed). The (1) in tinyint(1) is only for some formatting options and generally ignored. You could create it as tinyint(100) and it wouldn't make a difference.
Regarding the TRUE or FALSE, any int (int, tinyint, smallint, bigint) value can be used as (or converted to) a boolean value. It is considered FALSE if it is 0 and TRUE otherwise. So, 2 would count as TRUE.
To be entirely clear, MySQL does not have a true BOOLEAN type. BOOLEAN is a synonym of TINYINT(1), as the docs explain in Numeric Type Overview:

BOOL, BOOLEAN
These types are synonyms for TINYINT(1). A value of zero is considered false. Nonzero values are considered true:

However, the values TRUE and FALSE are merely aliases for 1 and 0, respectively, as shown here:
