That doesn't look like "source" to me ;-).
alias_file=<blah>
simply specifies where to dump aliases that you create in mutt itself
(ie using 'a').
To source that list, use
source $HOME/.mail-Alias
(BTW, there is nothing special about that file to constrain it to
containing just aliases, it can have any legal mutt configuration you
want)

Right, "~" is a specialty of the shell. The shell itself expands it
to $HOME. All programs (perhaps its in fopen()?) expand environment
variables though.
