why didnt they go back and rescue john

When Ben reads the letter from John he assumes that there's nothing in their own world for him. Ben probably doesn't know where John is, and John doesn't tell his friend anything about rescue him. He simply says goodbye to Ben.

We can see how John finally finds his happiness: he meets people like him and also Emmett again. He left nothing in the other world and decides to start a new life in their "new own world", finally in peace.

Ben doesn't know anything about that, anyway he can do nothing. Maybe he should be sad because John, but he's not even sad when Emmett dies. Quite odd because he is his best friend.

To sum up, I think that Ben couldn't do anything but at least he should have been sad of worried about it.
