Do you just fly courier missions for a mostly courier division and then decline (and likely have to wait 4 hours or switch agents) when you get a kill mission?
Any other tips for how to increase standing on an alt that you'd rather not have to train many combat skills for?

Boost your Social and Connections skills to level 5 (minimum). This will give you a great start towards standings, and help increase them faster as you do your missions.
Do all the "Career" agents missions (press F12 and select the bottom option), and do as much of the Data Centre agents as you can (basically collecting or buying pirate tags) for both your own faction and the allied faction.
Get the ~40m ISK Research Project Management science skill, train to lvl 4 (or lvl 5 if you have time to spare) and get several R&D agents (to access the agent's research abilities you need a paricular science skill as well). Make sure you do a mission for every one of them as often as possible (maximum of 1 mission every 20 hours per R&D agent), and cash in your R&D points for datacores before you change up to a better R&D agent. The missions still count towards the 16 missions required for a storyline mission (i.e. faction standing boost), and the R&D missions are always "give me tritanium" or "deliver this package up to 4 jumps away". (The storyline missions after 16 R&D missions are courier or trade too.)
Find a system with multiple courier, mining and trade mission giving agents. If you have to decline one mission then use another agent for the next 4 hours. eve-agents.com (provided by Chribba) is easily the best site to go to if you want to find agents of a certain disposition.
On top of that, make sure you can fly a combat cruiser (at least) and do the lvl 1, lvl 2 and maybe lvl 3 COSMOS missions for your faction and your allied faction.
(Just FYI, Gallente and Minmatar are allies, and Caldari and Amarr are allies. At the moment.)

Option 1: run courier missions.
Option 2: train minimaly for an L4 raven. And slog missions.
Option 3: pay (or otherwise convince) a mission runner to have you fleeted while he missions. As long as he splits the payoff of the mission with you, you'll gain standing.

Can also join a corporation that runs missions for you.
How does this work? Do they actually increase your personal standing or just your standing as a corp?

Regarding the four hour wait rule, you can decline a mission and immediately request another. If the second mission is also one that you don't want, then wait four hours. You can safely decline it after the four hours are up.
You'll see the warning text change.

If you want to increase your faction standing, you either need to run storyline missions yourself (which means 16 normal missions of any type to get a storyline) or you need to join the militia of the faction of your choice and fly plexes or faction warfare missions. Storyline standing increaes are not shared with a fleet. The fastest way to boost your standing is probably doing FW, you just destroy the opposing factions standing towards you. If you need standing just towards a single (or two allied) faction, do fw, otherwise fly missions for the Sisters of EVE. (IIRC the only way to boost standing to everyone at the same time.)
