No-one said that the plan had to work. Or that it wouldn't have unanticipated consequences!

"And I've been watching over this town longer than your whole family has lived here"
Am I reading too much into it when I think that "has lived here" this implies that there's somehow somewhere else they could have lived?
This casts the Grove as a place into which whole families can be reassigned, relegated, sent, etc. Not exactly a prison, necessarily, but Alice-as-warden kind of makes sense given her general affect.
Neko_Ali:
All that really means is that there are other areas, other towns that people live in. Not that people are forced to live in this town. People resettle all the time, set up new communities or just migrate. All we really know is that there is a much more advanced society 'up there' and they are normally forbidden from interacting with the people 'down here'.
Given the clearly non-terran species we have seen, I suspect this is a settled world, where the ancestors of the people wanted to live a life without all the technology that almost seems to dominate their society. The Nightwalker may be the remnants of terraforming nanomachines or something similar, to make the planet suitable for human habitation, or vice versa. After generations the people have mostly forgotten about where they come from, but the world is still considered officially 'off limits' to visitors.
improvnerd:
The weird species look more like gene-tweaked versions of terrestrial life than alien.

And the moon looked a lot like good old Luna too. I'd say this is our Earth, some thousands of years after a biotechnological apocalypse.
