Commands in UNIX are just programs. Commands like ls, cd, mkdir, and so on are probably executables in your /bin directory.System calls are functions you can call within your C code. They will switch your running level into "privileged mode" in order for you to access system resources like your hard drive. For example, open(2) is a system call, as is chmod(2). You should check the man pages on your system in chapter 2, which is about system calls.
