For the choice of the general, i really think that Hamalcar should stay in charge of the Sicilian operations: that's a major one for Carthage, and Xanthippos is, after all, a foreign (brilliant) mercenary.

Now for the political decision on wether to continue the war or not... maybe you can role-play your senate by looking at the influence scores of the family members members of the "trade party" vs those supporting the "war party", in order to determine the outcome of the debate... just a suggestion...
