Last time I checked, the entire function $f \colon \mathbf C \to \mathbf C \colon z \mapsto a\exp(iz)$ was transcendental for every non-zero $a \in \mathbf C$. So, taking $\alpha = -a = 2\pi$ yields a negative answer to your first question; taking $\alpha = a^{-1} = 2\pi$ yields a negative answer to your second question; and taking $\alpha = a = 2\pi$ yields a negative answer to your third question.

Edit. To address the question in the first comment under this answer, the function $f \colon \mathbf R \to \mathbf R \colon x \mapsto a \cos x$ is transcendental for every non-zero $a \in \bf R$, with $f(2\pi) = a$. So again, taking $\alpha = -a = 2\pi$ yields a negative answer to your first question; taking $\alpha = a^{-1} = 2\pi$ yields a negative answer to your second question; and taking $\alpha = a = 2\pi$ yields a negative answer to your third question.
