Can people find my Twitter account if they know my email address? Can I prevent this?
I have a Twitter account using an old email address that I don't really want people I knew from ages ago stumbling across. Is there way a to change my settings so that I'm not searchable by email address?

Yes they can. See on the find people tab on the top? it says look for people by username or email address. you can fix this by entering a fake email. and though you must sign in to twitter usings it, try to pick a fake one you'll remember ;]

only people who have your email address in their address book in their email account can search for you.
There wouldn't be a way to stop that from happening. Sorry.
