What is the definition of a conic section?
the figure defined by intersection of a cone and a plane.
Does a conic section have vertices?
No, a conic section does not have vertices. If it is a circle, it has a center; if it is a parabola or hyperbola, it has a focus; and if it is an ellipse, it has foci.

What is a conic section formed by the intersection of a right circular cone by a plane that cuts the axis and the surface of the cone called?
It sounds like this describes the conic section which is 2 straight lines intersecting at the origin [degenerate form of a hyperbola], but I may be misunderstanding the phrasing of the question.
What conic section is defined by the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a single point and a line?
It is a parabola.
What is the best definition of a conic section?

What a conic section?
A conic section is a curve formed by the intersection of a plane with a cone (conical surface). If the section is parallel to the base of the cone, the conic section has a fixed diameter and is a circle. Any other plane that does not intersect the apex is either a parabola, a hyperbola, or an ellipse.
