With ILIKE or extension CITEXT, does it have any impact on Indexes, like not picking index ?

ILIKE works only for operator LIKE not for operator =

CITEXT seems some possibilities,

Unless you have an index on upper(ename).

Yup, with this or overloading "=", one can create an expression based index and benefit from it.
