What is Indexing Rate(/sec) signifies in ElasticSearch? Whether it is number of document that is getting Indexed. Here 1 Document refers to 1 record in the input file?

Yes. For a log file (no multiline events), then 1 line is 1 index. Beats likewise, one event, one index. On Kibana, the indexing graph shows lines for primary and replication. So if you always have 1 replica, the replica line will be 2x the primary.
