You can use the “margin” key to indent the title entries but unnumbered chapter are still wrong aligned.

Use the “numbercommand” key to measure the width of the number
and apply different widths for narrow and wide entries.

Use \startsectionblockenvironment to set the setups at the begin of the document.

Take a look at the example below how this can be achieved.

%%%% begin example

\def\sc{\addff{smallcaps}}
\def\os{\addff{oldstyle}}

\setuplabeltext
	[appendix=Appendix~]

\setuphead
	[title]
	[incrementnumber=list,page=yes]

\setuphead
	[chapter]
	[page=no,numberstyle=\os]

\setuphead
	[section]
	[style=\bfb,numberstyle=\os,appendixlabel=appendix]

\setuplist
	[title,chapter]
	[width=10mm,textstyle=\sc\bfb,numberstyle=\os\bfb,pagestyle=\os,aligntitle=no]

\setuplist
	[title]
	[margin=10mm]

\define[1]\SectionlistNumber
  {\dowithnextbox
     {\ifdim\nextboxwd<10mm
        \simplealignedbox{10mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}%
      \else
        \simplealignedbox{27mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}%
      \fi}
     \hbox{#1}}

\setuplist
	[section]
	[width=0pt,numberstyle=\os\bf,pagestyle=\os,label=yes,numbercommand=\SectionlistNumber]

% The \defineconversionset command allows you to define
% different conversion for each sectionblock in your
% document by adding the name of the sectionblock in
% front of the name of the conversion set.

\defineconversionset [bodypart:sectioncounter] [n,n,n] [n]
\defineconversionset [appendix:sectioncounter] [n,n,A] [n]

\setuphead[chapter,section][sectionconversionset=sectioncounter]

% With the sectionblock environment you can list setups
% which are applied at the begin of the specified block
% in your document, e.g. the following setups are used
% after \startappendices:

\startsectionblockenvironment[appendix]

	\setuphead
		[chapter]
		[number=no]

		\setuphead
		[section]
		[page=yes,
		 sectionsegments=section,
		 sectionstopper=:]

\stopsectionblockenvironment

\setupbodyfont[palatino]

\starttext

\startfrontmatter

\title{Contents}
\placelist[title,chapter,section][criterium=all,alternative=c]

Why is there less space in front of a title in TOC than in front of a chapter?

How to define a different width for appendices (to reserve enough space for the word "Appendix")?

\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter

\chapter{First Chapter}
\section{First Section}
\chapter{Second Chapter}
\section{Second Section}

\stopbodymatter

\startappendices

\chapter{Appendices}

\section{First Appendix}
\input tufte

\section{Second Appendix}
\input zapf

\title{Why is there less space in toc?}

\stopappendices

\stoptext

%%%% end example
