How do you play hammer ons on your bass without getting a rattling sound on E string?

If you are hammering on other strings and the E string is rattling then it could be a string tension or a setup issue. If you are down-tuning to drop D or lower, you may need to get higher gauge strings to counter-act the loss of tension you are going to get from down tuning; and if setup is the culprit then you may notice buzzing when playing frets normally on the E string as well.
Another potential culprit is that you are playing too hard; when I first started playing bass I was all about slapping and plucking and fingering as fast and hard as possible, so when it came time to hammer on I would hit the strings as hard as possible. This can cause the string you are on to buzz or rattle, as well as on other strings. Try hammering on very slowly and softly at first and building speed / impact as necessary.

What does hammer off mean in guitar terms?
A Hammer Off is when you have a string pressed against the fretboard with a finger of the left hand (assuming you are right handed), and the finger is lifted sharply to make the string ring. A Hammer On is the opposite of this; when you bring a finger down sharply onto the string on the fretboard to make it ring. The implication of both of these is that the string isn't actually plucked with the right hand.
