General
1

i would like to commit a container to create an image from this container, using python SDK

And
container = client.containers.run(name, [“touch”, “/name”], detach=True)
what is the meaning of the touch command ?

container = client.containers.run(name, [“touch”, “/name”], detach=True)

here you are running a bash command touch to create file /name.

for committing a container using python Sdk please read below link
https://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/containers.html#docker.models.containers.Container.commit

Can we use commit command to create a copy of the container by launching an a new container from the commit image?

you can create multiple images using commit( it commit the changes made in the container to image). And then can start containers using those images.
SO yes
