Question:
And is it permissible to greet one's sister, maternal aunt, and paternal aunt and shake their hands?

Yes, there is no harm in shaking hands with mahram relatives, because there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in it. Your female mahram relatives may shake hands with one another, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
