FSFollowFinderAlias kind of does what I want, but not really.

Then please explain what you really want to do, and why FSFollowFinderAlias doesn't meet those needs.

Be specific.

If I read the entire data fork of a Finder alias will the read data be a valid AliasRecord or do I need to do some further manipulation on the read data?

Not even close. A Finder alias file has nothing in the data fork. It's all in the resource fork. As resources. In the normal resource- file way.
