Window sash - what not to paint; what not to fill

I scraped paint off the underside of the bottom rail of the bottom sash - the part that meets the sill. I'm now ready to start filling holes and have two questions:

1) I'm thinking the bottom of the bottom rail should not have any paint on it. Is that correct?

2) There are two holes in the bottom rail where it meets the stiles (sides). Should I fill those holes (and with what - caulk or WoodEpox) or leave them as a moisture escape?

Thank you all for your patience and continuing help.
