The oldest recorded organism that had photosensitive sensory organs with the ability to detect the presence and direction of light within a few degrees of accuracy was a prehistoric sea snail that existed approximately 550 million years ago. Organisms that could detect the presence but not the direction of light probably evolved earlier, but no fossils of these organisms have been found.

No, a rainbow is not a living thing. In fact, it's not even a thing. A rainbow is the result of sunlight reflecting from the insides of droplets of rainwater. It's as real a thing as the picture of yourself that you see in a mirror, and no two people even see the same rainbow in the same place at the same time.
