I suspect that Elizabeth would have been mildly stern with Hans in the same way she was with Paige the second time they talked. It was the screaming, red-eyed tirade that was exceptional, not her more reasonable approach afterward. That screaming fit was meant to show that Elizabeth has been pushed to the limits of what she herself can bear, IMO. Yes, Paige undeniably screwed up big time, but Elizabeth doesn't even have the time or mental bandwidth left to question if Paige is suited to this life. It was just YOU (I) screwed up. YOU (I) can't come home again. YOU (I) have work to do.
I don't know much about running a travel business either but I guess you're right that Philip may have just run into a cash flow problem just because there are not enough people taking holiday cruises at the moment. But still, the scene was setup specifically with Philip calling the loan officer about missing his payment on Henry's student loan, then eyeing the pop science business motivational book, to him going to cheer on the team to land more sales. I read that as meaning that Henry's student loans are an underlying cause of Philip's business expansion. I wonder if Henry's scholarship was only for the 1st year, and everyone just assumed that he would continue to get scholarships but then didn't. That's not uncommon. Since Henry is (finally) showing up as a meaningful presence in the show, perhaps we'll find out more. Be interesting to see if Henry would care more about school related money issues getting between him and the American Dream, or about finding out that his parents are KGB spies.
