I'd like to select a new font for the monospaced text such as those parts within a \texttt{} and code snippets in the minted context. (As far as I can tell, minted just uses the document's default typewriter font, so I don't think I need to touch its settings.) I just want to change to another monospaced font that looks all right and has a normal tilde character. How do I do that?

Have you tried using \setmonofont[<options>]{<font name>} with fontspec?
Just to give some examples of narrower fonts with bold faces for which packages are provided on CTAN and in TeX Live:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newcommand*{\test}{This is an example. and \textbf{This is some bold.}\par}
\begin{document}
CMR:\par
\test
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{yvt}\rmfamily
Venturis:\par
\test
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{yv2}\rmfamily
Venturis2:\par
\test
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{yvo}\rmfamily
Venturis Old:\par
\test
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ybv}\rmfamily
Baskervald:\par
\test
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ybd}\rmfamily
Berenis:\par
\test
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gentium}\rmfamily
Gentium:\par
\test
\end{document}
Don't use those commands if you want to use these fonts, obviously, load the relevant packages instead e.g. \usepackage{venturis2} or whatever.

It's the
\ttdefaultcommand which normally takes care of this.But indeed it's usually best to let dedicated packages as
beramamonodo this, since there can be a lot of subtleties behind fonts (of which I'm often not aware myself :-)
