Why is "little" not the correct option to fill "only ___ milk left"?
@user3132457: But note that We've got little milk left would be very unlikely in conversational contexts today - it's a dated / formal / poetic / stilted usage. Personally I'd say that the same even applies (to a lesser extent) with We've got only a little milk left. You're much more likely to hear We've got only a [little] bit of milk left (where little is effectively optional).

What is the appropriate way to ask about filling in documents?
And 422 instances of filled out the document compared to 108,000 instances of filled out the form suggests it's not at all common. To my mind, documents aren't something you "fill in" - at most you might sign them (by way of proving that you have read and agreed/verified all the pre-printed details).

Is it correct to say "you have been in or on my mind"?
The link you provide does not give the example "You've been in my mind a lot lately". It isn't idiomatic in this context at all in my opinion. What you are probably looking for here is the idiom "on one's mind" which means "in one's thoughts".
