I don't think Rails is the best tool for that. A static site or Wordpress are probably a better fit.

It definitely can be, but I think most apps people are working on don't have a scaling issue (at least of the technology sort). When there is a scaling issue, it's often something related to the database (bad indexes, poor instance type, or N+1 queries)
