Taking up that:

rapid fire weapon, Say vengance round or hotshot lasgun, where the Profile is 18" RF

They rapid fire 12" right?

Yep.

Two shots at 12".

Doesn't matter if the full range is 36" or 19", or even 14".
One shot at full range (if stationary).
Two shots at 12" if inside this range or unit moved.

Under "Weapon Types," subsection "Rapid Fire Weapons," second paragraph. Also, third paragraph. Also, diagram.

As a Tau player, I'd love to have two shots at 15". As a SM player, I imagine you'd hate for your Sternguard to have 2 shots at 9".

Rules very clearly say 12".
