Whole numbers ARE rational.
Yes, by definition. A rational number is one that can be written as a ratio (hence rational) of two whole numbers. And a ratio of two whole numbers is a fraction.
No, they are not. 1/2 is a ratio of two integers and so it is rational. But it is not a whole number.
Another name for 'rational' is "numbers that are equal to the ratio of two whole numbers". Another name for 'irrational' is "numbers that are not equal to the ratio of any two whole numbers".
Whole numbers are always rational
