I probably use

  docutils-common: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rst.el

On "C-c C-t C-t" it shows TOC for easy navigation and on "C-c C-=" it fixes
and cycles through header declarations.

I never use any other commands. Full command list is available on C-h m.

I miss indenting and text wrapping in definition list declaration but except
this and syntax highlighting issues in "verbatim" text it works fine

I don't use RH, just make web search for Debian "apt-file" alternative:

  sudo yum install yum-utils
  repoquery --whatprovides '*bin/rst2pdf'

In this way you be able to find any package that contain specific file. See:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1133495/how-do-i-find-which-rpm-package-supplies-a-file-im-looking-for

While I build RST files with GNU make there are command C-c C-c C-c
(M-x rst-compile).

If you work with Java (I assume that because you are mentioning Eclipse) it is
possible to build Java project documentation in Maven project with:

   <plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
       <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>3.2</version>
       <dependencies>
           <dependency>
               <groupId>org.nuiton.jrst</groupId>
               <artifactId>doxia-module-jrst</artifactId>
               <version>1.5</version>
           </dependency>
       </dependencies>
   </plugin>
