Couldn't find anything about command-mode. How is it different from normal
mode?
Dont confuse 'commandline mode' with 'command mode'.
'comand mode' is same as 'normal mode', they are synonyms [1].
'commandline mode' is a mode which you enter with : from normal mode.
'commandline mode' is also the mode in which scripts are executed.

[1] :help normal-mode says:
*Normal* *Normal-mode* *command-mode*
Normal mode In Normal mode you can enter all the normal editor
commands. If you start the editor you are in this
mode (unless you have set the 'insertmode' option,
see below). This is also known as command mode.

And yes, vi has the 7th mode.
It's called the 'confusion mode'.
It is a mode in which the beginner user of vi
mostly finds himself during his
first weeks/months/years of using vi.
