How may I be able to check the IDs (or, even better, the emails) of the downloading people.

That does not seem to be possible. You only have statistics, but not on downloads (unless you are talking about downloads of the releases associated with your project), or on clones of your repo.

In relation to that, can I limit my repository downloadable only through forking in Github?

That also is not available. Forking is mandatory if a user wants to contribute back (push back) to your repo. Otherwise, a direct clone is enough.
