C3P0 Basic under Ackbar?

Unfortunately it doesn't. Some abilities that don't do damage are still labelled as attacks, eg 3PO's basic, bb8's illuminated destiny and asajj's heal/dispel. I think it has something to do with inflicting debuffs on the enemy or removing their TM - it's still counted as an adverse effect applied to the enemy so doesn't call an assist under ackbar's lead.

That's because he calls another Ally to assist then assists himself. He doesn't "attack" so it works. 3PO, Asajj and BB8 have specials that don't do damage but do have negative effects on enemy units, therefore they're technically attacks.

Then why can it be countered?

Because, that's why. Now stop asking difficult questions :D

Gotcha, well thanks for the info!

Same thing happens with Old Ben's mind tricks.
There was recently a thread to do with Ezra's assist being countered. Something to do with it being done on his turn or something, I forget.
