Is there anyway to get Rhythmbox to stop playing the current track when it closes without first pausing/stopping the song manually?

Yes you can use the fn and >>| key that is on most keyboards. On my keyboard it is fn+f10 but just look for the key that looks like the fast-forward button.
You can also set the shortcuts for the keyboard
Open your Dash by pressing your "Super Key" In the search bar enter in Keyboard and select "Keyboard"

This is intentionally the default behaviour: allowing you to minimise ("close") Rhythmbox and control it from the Sound menu.
To work around this you need to "quit" Rhythmbox by selecting File->Quit in the menu, or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Q.
