First, if the base is a curve of genus $>0$ there can not be a section that is a rational curve (this is a simple exercise). Second, the answer to the beginning of your second question is NO. Indeed, the simplest such elliptic surface is obtained by blowing up $\mathbb CP^2$ in $9$ points - the base points of an elliptic pencil. If you blow down these curves you get back $\mathbb CP^2$, which is not elliptic.
