Is there a rule against the RB pushing the QB on a QB sneak?

Yes there is.  The ball carrier cannot be intentionally pushed by any on his own team.

Yes Sir that is helping the runner - have your running back push the defenders trying to tackle the runner, not the runner himself.   

NFHS Rulebook - Rule 9, Section 1
Helping The Runner - An offensive player shall not push, pull or lift the runner to assist his forward progress.
Penalty - Helping the runner - 5 yards
