Not really unless you made the commercial yourself (like the no stank you ones).

You could put in under additional information, or maybe extra-curricular (Only put it in EC if you've done more than one). It can't hurt!

As long as you did this during your high school years, I see no reason NOT to put it.

Would it count as a job? If you got paid?

If it isn't a negative thing, it is good in the sense that it can only help and not hurt your application. That said, the question you should be asking is "Will it matter?" My honest opinion: No, except as a possible essay idea. Writing about doing a commercial promises to be a unique read if you approach it correctly.
