I need all the Unix commands which are specific to AIX machines.

For e.g.: for Unix top is equivalent to topas in AIX.

I need the list of similar commands. Where can I find it? Is there any documentation for this?

The IBM publib documentation for System p and AIX is stored here - publib is a vital resource if you're using any IBM product.

Look under AIX Documentation, Commands reference, Categorical. This will show you what the commands are meant to do from which you'll hopefully be able to work out the similar commands for other operating systems.
