Would those screw terminal boards fit an Ardunio Pro mini as well?

Yes, the Pro Mini will fit. The only problem is that some of the pins on the Pro Mini are in different places than on the Nano, so the labeling on the screw terminal board will not be correct. For example, the terminal marked "A7" on the screw terminal board will actually be connected to A3 on the Pro Mini
Addionally, you will have no way to connect the A4/5/6/7 pins of the Pro Mini.
If you want terminals in that form factor, I prefer this Nano configuration:
It seems strange I can't find any screw terminal board for the Pro Mini.........

Not at all, they’re intended for small spaces and compactness, really intended to be mounted onto another board with pins and sockets. There are so many Nano solutions, why fixate on the Pro Mini? If you need terminals, I doubt size and cost are the selection factors.
And above all: for that price you get an arduino with screw terminals, not just an adaper board.
You can buy 2.54 mm terminals and solder them directly onto the Pro Mini. With the official Pro Mini and some of the derivatives, there are components on the top of the board that block the terminals. You can deal with that by soldering the terminals to the bottom of the board, which is free from any components.
WattsThat:

I relay on the 2 screw holes to mount the carrier board.
for me, the whole reason to use the screw terminal board is in a permanent installation with a couple standoffs and the mounting.

That board has an extra row of pads and also has what looks like, a header for the NRF 2401+
You would really need to check the pin-outs to make sure those exact pins are in place.
as for the end pads of the pro-mini, you would have to make jumpers and such.
based on the work involved, and the placement issues and loss of plug-in pins, I would seriously consider getting a NANO from e-bay for that one-off project.
another word of caution is the power plug. I did not see a picture of the bottom of the board, but I assume the plug is just connected to some pins. and that there is not any power regulation.
if your project is for a battery powered project, you can hack the NANO and remove the power sucking bits.
or, you can just make a board like this and have it made with the features you want. I think you could get 10 of your home-brew for $20, so for the cost of 3 of these, you can get 10 you do not have modify and alter.
