Why is it important for the astronaut to have interests outside their work in space?

Because without fun of some sort, an astronaut's life would be pure stress. Unless you relieve that stress, then you start impairing your performance. The same can happen with earthbound people who have high-stress jobs or are in high-stress situations.

How can they work outside of the space station if it is traveling at 17500 mph?
Even though the space station is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, all objects inside or attached to the space station are traveling in the same speed and direction. Relative to these objects, the space station will appear like it isn't moving at all. When an astronaut goes on an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside the space station, he will still be moving in the same speed and direction as the space station. Because of this, the space station will appear to be stationary to the astronaut (Unless the astronaut pushed against it, in which case the astronaut would drift away). In the event that an astronaut does accidentally push himself away from the space station, tethers and handrails allow the astronaut to pull himself back to safety.
