I think, you almost get what you want, if you set
:set foldopen-=block
This will make the { movements not open the folds. But it won't move to
before the closed fold, but stays on the closed fold, where the
paragraph is.

Not exactly possible. Use one of the many NarrowRegion plugins
available, e.g. my NrrwRgn
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3075
which opens a selected range of lines in a new buffer and marks the
original buffer non-modifiable.
