Try this change:
solForAlphaNN[alpha0_] := 
 NDSolve[{eq1, eq2, eq3, ics, bcs} /. alpha -> alpha0, {f, theta, 
   phi}, {eta, 0, 7}, MaxStepSize -> 0.5, MaxSteps -> 10^3, 
  Method -> {"StiffnessSwitching", 
    Method -> {"ExplicitRungeKutta", Automatic}}];
Also, N[b] = 0.1 is probably not what you meant. N is a system function, and N[b] = 0.1 sets an NValue for the symbol b. If you don't know what that means, then it is certainly not what you intended. I usually avoid starting my variable and function names with capital letters, and I especially avoid using single capitals, since several are used by the system. Like N. Sometimes when I want the variable to resemble traditional notation found in journals, I will compromise and use a double letter, like  NN[b] = 0.1; similarly for, say, GG[r] = 5. But that's up to you. Just know that some things such as N[t] = 0.1 have a special meaning and may break your code.
