Are retread tires permitted on steer axle of commercial vehicles?

That depends on what you mean by retread. You're either referring to recapped tires, or retreaded tires. Recapped tires have the old surface layer of rubber removed, and have a new layer added. Regrooved tires simply have the treads cut deeper.
Recapped tires may be used on the steer axle of any vehicle except for a bus (CFR 49, Part 395.75, paragraph D).
A regrooved tire with a load capacity in excess of 4,920 lbs., however, may not be used on the steer axle of any vehicle (CFR 49, Part 395.75, paragraph E).
That being said, you'd be better advised not to use recaps on your steers.

What is a diff lock on dumper trucks?
On a tipper/dump truck, or any 6x4 commercial tractor, power is transferred only to one axle during normal operations. Engaging the differential lock activates a mechanism which transfers power so that both drive axles are engaged for when it is needed. This is not to be confused with a transfer case, which transfers power to the steer axle. Transfer cases tend to be a bit rare on commercial road vehicles, but do appear on specialised vehicles (such as off-highway tippers and quarry trucks, prime mover trucks, tactical military vehicles, etc).

The steer tires can be regroovable, yes. However, you cannot use recaps if you're running standard 315s. If you're using 385s or something of that sort (typically found on heavy haulers, dump trucks, etc), you can use ONE TIME recaps, but it must still be a virgin casing (no punctures).
