How do I prevent rats from eating a corpse that I left unattended? Also, is this a bad thing?
I know you can place unconscious bodies in trashbins in order to have them not count as kills, but does any elevated surface work just as well, i.e. tables and bathtubs? I stored an unconscious body in a bathtub and came back and it was gone, so wasn't sure if it had been eaten or just disappeared.
Unconscious bodies are vulnerable to being eaten by rats. You can store them in garbage bins to make them completely safe. The same holds true of corpses. There is also an ability that turns corpses you kill (level 1: stealth kills only, level 2, both) to ash, making it a non issue.
A kill is a kill where Chaos levels are concerned. Tucking the bodies away/disposing of them helps prevent you being detected in mission, but if they are actual corpses they're going to contribute to potential chaos level increase regardless.
You should stash unconscious Weepers, if you really want to make sure that they won't be eaten by rats. (Good hiding places are described in the answers to this question.)
I did some testing with the Devouring Swarm power, which spawns a swarm of rats (those rat swarms behave just like normal rat swarms):

I cannot vouch for any elevated surface (having not tried every one in the game). But in general yes. As long as the body is off the ground the rats cannot get to it.
As for your disappearing body I do not know exactly why that happened however I noticed it in my game as well. And not just bodies left in the open. If you store bodies in trashbins and come back later they will be gone (sometimes). It seems like bodies just time out after a while.
