Rationality = having accurate beliefs and useful emotions.
Intelligence = the capacity to learn.
Not only. A large part of it is having a useful toolset and knowing which tools to apply when. Accurate beliefs are the result of epistemic rationality, but not the process itself.
Not only. I'd say it's mostly about the ability to process complex information rapidly and correctly. Smart people think fast and think clearly. Plus, a significant part of intelligence is how large/complicated a structure can you hold and manipulate in your mind.
