RewriteRule ^localhost/alumini/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /alumini/profile.php?username=$1
RewriteRule ^localhost/alumini$ /alumini/index.php

Your first request is a rewrite, not a redirect. Your second is a redirect. For the re-write, the following rule should do the trick (untested):
RewriteRule ^localhost/alumini/([a-zA-Z]+)$ /alumini/profile.php?username=$1
The regular expression inside the brackets matches one or more upper or lowercase letters and nothing else, and the value of the match is passed to $1. You may need to change the regular expression depending on the format of your usernames.
and for the index.php redirect (to remove the index.php where it exists):
Redirect 301 /alumini/index.php http://localhost/alumini
The 301 represents the fact that the page has moved permanently, and is better for SEO as only the non index.php page will be indexed.
