You are right, the app-indicator is not in alarm-clock.ui. The glade
file is old and no longer used (I guess I should remove it!)

If you want to change the app-indicator, you need to make changes to
src/ui.c in the function alarm_applet_status_init().

The *menu* which is opened when clicking the app-indicator is in
alarm-clock.ui though. The name of the GtkMenu widget is
"status_menu". You should be able to open it in glade and add your
menu items there.

Hope it helps :)
