NEWBIE - How to read what is on Arduino Pro Mini

It can be done, but what you get back is pure assembly language with no variable labels, comments, etc. So if you're really trying to figure out what it did/does, good luck. Unless it's so simple as to be trivial, you're in for an uphill slog.
Many people come here looking to upload the program from their Arduino, because they've lost the original files. It's not possible to resurrect your code that way.
