In simple terms: think about the amount of physical trauma caused by getting hit by a car going 60 miles per hour. Now take the velocity of a car, and make it a LOT bigger. Now take the impact area and make it about several thousand times smaller.
That's an a greater amount of kinetic energy than a speeding car, impacting on a much small area. It shouldn't be hard to figure out why the physical damage of a bullet, if well placed, can easily kill someone.
and an even more simple term: bullets make holes. The person dies either because they bleed to death or because the bullet damages something vital like the heart, or a combination of both.
Yes and no according to the laws of Physics a .45 bullet will have a terminal velocity of 132 m/s (due to tumbling) this is inconsistant with a fatal shot, however if it hits you in the right place it can kill.
A simple comon-sense think-through of this question gives me this answer: When hit by, say a .38 caliber pistol bullet, your body is being struck by a hard object that weighs about half an ounce, moving at approximately 750 miles per hour. That object will penetrate a certain distance, destroying and displacing bone and tissue in front of it. That gives profound meaning to the phrase: "That's gotta hurt".

Why are bullets made of mild steel?
Usually they aren't. Lead, or lead in a copper shell (a "jacket") is the most common choice for bullets. Bullets CAN be made of mild steel, usually also copper jacketed, and it's usually done because of concerns about the lead from the bullets causing pollution. Mild steel is one of the less expensive replacement options for lead in bullets.
