If I return my commander to my hand, as it gets discarded can I then decide to return it to my command zone? Also what if it’s put on top of my deck and I draw it, can I do it then?

Yes, you're allowed to put it into the command zone in either situation.

The rule for when you're allowed to do this has changed a few times over the last several years. Older versions of the rule were a bit more restrictive, but the current version is pretty generous. Here it is:

903.9 If a commander would be exiled from anywhere or put into its owner's hand, graveyard, or library from anywhere, its owner may put it into the command zone instead.

Notice that it says "from anywhere", and that really means anywhere.
