Add:

[alias]
   aliasname=directorypath

to the approriate virtual host configuration file (or defaults.cfg if
you are not using virtual hosts), and restart Xitami.  (You can also do
this through the web based admin.)

No.

You can do the reverse (allow GETs but refuse to provide a listing), but
not allow a listing and refuse to allow GETs.

If you just want people to be able to see what is there and not download
it I suggest you:
(a) don't use an alias
(b) create a HTML page (or a CGI to output one) that contains (outputs) 
    a list of files that are in that directory with whatever details
    you want.

The point of providing access to a directory is to allow people to
retrieve (GET) things from it; so it sounds to me like you don't want to
allow people access to the directory after all.
