Is there any way to lock trading after a certain time every day whether or not the risk management rule has been met?

There is not a built in way to "lock" trading at a specific time. You can flatten your positions at a certain time, but not lock.

You could create a custom study to do the locking at a certain time. Refer to the following:
sc.SetTradingLockState()

List of Third Party Sierra Chart Study and System Programmers

Also, is there a way to incorporate commissions into maximum profit/loss?

Refer to the following regarding adding commissions to certain items:
Trade Activity Log: Use Commission

Chart Settings: Use Symbol Commission Setting in Trade List and Statistics Calculations (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

I am using the 'enable order allocation to trade account' feature with DOM but it seems like it only works for the dom. The orders I place on the chart directly does not get allocated to the designated accounts. Is there any way to fix this?

The Order Allocation to Trade Account is setup per chart. You would need to set this up for both your Trading DOM and for your chart.
