1. What could be the reason if your Database Mail working fine but No SQL Agent Alerts are working?

Database Mail is part of the SQL Server Service which means that the SQL Server Agent cannot automatically know that it’s present and active and which settings to use. Therefore although you may have set up your Operators and are able to select them within the Notifications tab of a scheduled task, you still have to tell the SQL Server Agent which email account and profile it can use. 

Check on “Enable mail profile” option and mention the profile name which needs to be used under the Alert System tab of SQL Server agent properties and Restart the SQL Server agent service.
