How do you grip a slider?

Similar to a curveball you can grip the slider along the seem with your index and middle finger together. If you were to hold the ball over your shoulder and release it in that motion you would end up with a curveball going down and in. If you hold your palm up and release it with a counterclockwise motion on your wrist it will slide from your throwing hand to the opposite side of the plate depending on where you want it to be placed. You should probably not try throwing off speed pitches until youre over the age of 12-14 since it can really wreak havok on a young arm.

What is the difference between a pitcher's command and a pitcher's control?

Great question. The pitchers command means that his pitches are doing what he wants them to do. If his intent is to throw a curve ball, then the ball will curve. The pitcher has control when the pitches he throws are staying in the strike zone like he wants. If he wants to throw a ball, then he is throwing balls. your curveball can curve, your breaking ball can break, your slider will slide, and your fastball is fast.... however if you can't get it over the plate ( or reasonably within range), you have no control.
