Welcome to the world of exaggerated compressor HP claims. The most one can pull from a parallel prong 110 V outlet is 15 amps so that is what the draw is listed for.

If the nameplate says "Compressor duty" the HP rating is pushed a bit using things like a service duty over 100% , intermittent duty testing.

In any event, the compressor looks fine for your needs.
