In this report, the man said:
Who's making the most money off the deal.
Does off in this context mean from? and is this use common or just dialectal?

Yes, it means "from", and no, it's not dialect.
Make [something] off (of) [something else]
is a phrasal verb, often used with money, or the suggestion of money.
