[General disclaimer: I can never remember what goes where in org-agenda-custom-commands, and it's
all untested. Tread carefully.]
I don't think the "todo" type can do that. You might want to use the "tags" type with a search
- see
(info "(org) Matching tags and properties")
It should be something like
tags "TODO=TODO|WAITING"
or maybe
tags "TODO=\"TODO|WAITING\""
or maybe
tags "TODO=\"TODO\"|TODO=\"WAITING\""
(or maybe something else :-) ).

Maybe (org-agenda-span 'month)?
