Using the Ctrl Click after highlighting selected files for conversion they convert quickly but is there a way to direct them to a sub folder and/or to delete the .tiff files in bulk on the sub folder?

To somebody that has arrived here in the future* and wonders how this might be performed, either using a script, or using the GUI…
Usual approach locally would be a bash or zsh shell script using the built-in sips conversion tool.
man sips
sips --formats
sips can convert among various formats: jpeg | tiff | png | gif | jp2 | pict | bmp | qtif | psd | sgi | tga

If using the GUI and not a shell script or Shortcut or such, bulk command line move, and bulk rename operations, are available in Finder:

This Automator process saved as an application will batch convert .tiff files into .jpeg files in the same folder replacing the tiff files. So until you're confident that the app will do what you want run it only on duplicate files.
