The reason that Alma is wishing to be an angel preaching to the ends of the earth is because he had just finished recording the remarkable success of his friends, the sons of Mosiah.
I don’t think it is actual jealousy, just that momentary imagining the joy that would come by doing such marvelous missionary work. Upon reflection he must surely see that his labors among the Nephites are no less extraordinary than what his friends achieved.
