Job Commands contain a list of Action Abilities that are associated with the Job that the command is tied to. A unit can have two equipped at a time, but one of them is always restricted to the command of the current Job that is equipped.

Job Command and Action Ability Differences

Action Abilities are Skills That are Used

Action Abilities are the skills that a unit can use in battle. Once you've paid the requisite JP to learn a specific Action Ability, it can be equipped and used on any other Job.

How to Farm JP (Job Points)

Job Commands Have Multiple Actions

Job Commands aren't moves that you can use in combat, and instead house multiple Action Abilities that you can select. They are exclusive to their respective Jobs, and cannot be learned and equipped on other ones.
