Wikipedia has a list of notations about the Control key:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key#Notation

Is there a resource that lists the different notations for combinations of other keys (and/or notations for "non-abc" keys)?

Examples of meanings [1] are not necessary.

Ctrl

Wikipedia had this for the Ctrl key:

^X      Traditional notation
C-x     Emacs notation
CTRL-X  Old Microsoft notation
Ctrl+X  New Microsoft notation
Ctrl/X  OpenVMS notation

I'm adding [1]:

Ctrl_N
Ctrl--N

Corresponding for Alt, excluding trivial ones that follow from above such as Alt+X, would be:

Alt

^[x
M-x
Mod1 x (seen in e.g. Fluxbox config)

"Windows logo" button

s-x
Win+X
Super+X
Mod4 x

...but compiling a full list is not possible (if someone wants to try here, feel free to edit my post). Your best bet is to use search engines to find the correct notation for your current application from case to case.
