What conduit is used in a residential residence with 15 amp wires?
You need no conduit on a residential home using Romex wiring with wooden studs. For a 15 amp circuit use 14/2 wire with a 15 amp breaker. This can only be used in bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas. All other areas of the home require 12/2 wiring with a 20 amp breaker.
How do you run cables through wall studs?

Do you need a grommet to protect electrical wiring run through a hole cut in a metal stud?
Ideally yes. Any potential for the cabling to move against the edges of the hole will cause shorting out and potential fire hazard as well as electrocution. <<>> The electrical code does not allow home cable (loomex) to be used in non combustible buildings. If metal studs are used throughout a commercial building then BX has to be used. There are grommets that make pulling the BX through the metal studs much more easier. To save labour on the job the grommets are highly recommended. They can be installed as the holes in the studs are punched out.
Is it a violation to use drywall screws to install a new construction box to a stud inside the box?
If you have wood studs I know of no code restrictions. I think sheet rock screws make good wood screws for many different applications. If you have metal studs, the screws won't hold the box solidly to the stud. This may be a violation; I didn't look it up; but many things are done in a pinch. If this is your situation, connect the box to the stud as best you can. Then, once sheet rock is added and your device and faceplate, there won't be a problem because it all goes together to make an adequate installation. I am NOT saying the box can be free-floating. It should be held more or less in place with the screws. If it is free-floating then you are depending on the faceplate to hold the box and device in place. This is a violation of code.
Does commercial electrical wiring have to be in conduit if it is behind a wall covering?
It depends on whether the building classification is combustible or non combustible. On a new commercial building wiring is usually designed by an electrical engineer. In this case the wiring is done to their specifications. On a rewire of a commercial building BX cable can be used behind wall board. The reasoning is that most commercial buildings these days use steel studs. Dragging ordinary NMD wire through these types of studs can cut the outer sheath. In some jurisdictions steel stud bushings have to be used when a steel stud is hole punched. By using this type of wiring cable, rigid conduit or EMT does not have to be used.
