In that situation, the person who produced the new work will *not* be able to restrict copy, use, sale, etc. of the new work, since it is a derived work of the GPL- and/or MIT-licensed original works. The combined work's license will necessarily need to be compatible with (if not identical to) the licenses on the works that were used to produce it.
The MIT licence imposes none of those restrictions. The GPL only applies to that part covered by the GPL, which may be larger the incoming GPL content.
If by 'commercialize' you mean 'offer for sale', yes, the person could certainly offer the combined work for sale.
As do RedHat, even with a horizontal product. It is even easier with vertical products.
