If it can get here, that would imply intelligence as that would not be an act of instinct but an act of will so either the alien could either be:

a) sinless
b) have free will.

I think C.S. Lewis did a series of books on this back in the day.

If they are sentient beings, yes. That’s what I said above. I would assume any race of beings capable of space travel would have the capacity to reason. And sin.
