any fraction, or rational number, whose the quotient of the numerator and the denominator is not a whole number then that rational number is not an interger. (note: numerator and denominator can not be 0)
For example: 1/2, -4/5, 3/2

Well, there are a few others..
1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 3/4, -1/2, -1/3, -2/3, -1/4, -3/4, And those are only a few of the rational numbers between 0 and 1, then you have all those between 1 and 2, and between 2 and 3.... etc.

Yes, in fact there is a (countable) infinite number of numbers that are rational but not integer. Any number that can be expressed as the ratio of 2 integers is rational. If the ratio reduces to a whole number (i.e., it has no fractional part), then that rational number is an integer. Thus, 1/2, 12317/12319991231, and 0.123 are all examples of rational numbers.

any number that can be written in a/b form (when b is not equal to zero) is a rational number. An irrational number is nonterminating and doesn't repeat. So numbers like pi are irrational, and numbers like 5/7 are rational.

Yes. Many 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2 you get the idea.
