No, the only home runs that would count towards career home runs are thise hit in regular season games. Home runs for all star games and postseason games are kept as separate statistics.
there is no specific amount a player gets into the derby by being recommended by major league baseball and accepting the offer
National League Dan Uggla (Florida Marlins) Lance Berkman (Houston Astros) Chase Utley (Philadelphia Philles) Ryan Braun (Milwaukee Brewers) American League Josh Hamilton (Texas Rangers) Grady Sizemore (Cleveland Indians) Evan Longoria (Tampa Bay Rays) Justin Morneau (Minnesota Twins) Hamilton stole the show, hitting a record 28 homers in the first run. But he met Morneau in the final round, where homers from previous rounds don't count. Morneau took the final round 5 to 3 to win the derby.

Players that apply for the All-Star game can decide whether they want to participate in the Home run Derby or not. If only 7/less batters want to participate, the derby would be cancelled. P.S: Most players think it's a waste of their energy and don't want to participate anymore
There are 3 rounds.
The first round has 8 players and the top 4 players advance to the second round.
The second round has 4 players and the top 2 players advance. The totals for the first round are counted again in the second round - a good first round can sometimes guarantee entrance to the final round.
The final round is head-to-head.
Arizona Diamondbacks Luis Gonzalez won the 2001 All Star Home Run Derby.
The MLB Home Run Derby has three rounds. Eight players face off in the first round, and four players continue to the second. Out of those four players who face off in the second round, two players advance to the third round. The third and last round determines the winner.
Each round typically lasts about an hour, so the entire derby is around three hours long.
David Ortiz won the Home Run Derby in 2010.

The Twins' Justin Morneau won the 2008 home run derby. The Rangers' Josh Hamilton far outhomered him, hitting a record 28 home runs in the first round. However in the final round, Morneau hit 5 homers to Hamilton's 3. The next day Morneau scored the winning run in the bottom of the 15th to end arguably the most exciting All Star game ever played.
In the early days of the game (1870's-1880's)most home runs were inside the park, many ballparks didn't even have outfield fences and it's unlikely that inside the park homers were considered a separate stat from homers hit over a fence,a fairly rare occurence in the early days of the game.
It is the only sport where the offence is not allowed to touch the ball, and only the defence is.
