How can one keep a \section from being at the end of a page?
You should use the option
\usepackage[nobottomtitles*]{titlesec}
This will prevent your heading titles to be displayed at the bottom of the page and it will place your heading in the next page.

Is it possible to create a new sectioning level?
Sure. There’s no reason you can't go infinitely in any direction.
