What bad things will happen if I use this Stanley hand miter saw:

to cut aluminum angle stock of the kind sold at Home Depot? Will it ruin
the blade immediately, work fairly well, or what?

You won't hurt the blade. Some wax applied to the blade may improve
the surface finish.


Is it possible to get a similar miter box for cutting metal?


Not that I'm aware of. See the recent thread on
rec.crafts.metalworking "Blades for cutting aluminum?" for a
discussion of using a chop saw and carbide blade for cutting aluminum.
