I want to pass a name of an app to which tell a command in a string variable and then do some stuff.

Use this ...

set applID to "com.apple.TextEdit"
tell application id applID
activate
end tell

The 'application id' is the value of the key 'Bundle identifier' or 'CFBundleIdentifier' found in the application's "Info.plist" file. Use 'Show Package Contents' to see this file and 'Property List Editor' to open it.
