No, contributions to a 401k do not count as earned income when you retire at age 62, as they are considered pre-tax deductions from your paycheck. When you retire and start withdrawing from your 401k, those withdrawals may be taxed as income.

Can you get government benefits like food stamps or welfare or etc on a commission only job but no income?

If you receive a commission it is counted towards your income. It would be used to calculate your benefits in the same way as a salary or hourly wage. It is still considered earned income and must be reported as such. $100 earned through commission is the same as $100 earned through an hourly wage or salary.
