I was looking for a font that I think I found on the WhatTheFont site (If it's not the same, it's very similar to Slate Pro Medium Italic). I found a few sites that offered a free download of this font, can I use it for commercial purposes then?

If I cannot find the very same font (or download it for free) is it OK to use a slightly different one for a client who has a certain font in their logo? It's for a banner and for the headline I wanted to use the same font as in their logo.

1: Slate Pro is not a free font and your client should be in possession of a commercial license if it is being used in their logo. If not, they would have to obtain a license for them to use it commercially.

2: Try searching on dafont.com for a similar font, but be sure to check whether or not the font can be used commercially.

I have also used fonts that were not even close to those of my clients. As long as they work well, it should not be a problem. Unless your client insisted that you use that font.
