Why does she care about fucking up Troy so badly? Is it because of Helen? I thought Helen was seduced because of the influence of Aphrodite.

She even tells Zeus she can fuck up her favorite cities. She doesn't care.

Why doesn't she stop Aphrodite from helping Paris during his duel with Menelaus?

It's the end result of a long spiteful family feud between Hera and Aphrodite. Hera, in order to assume authority as the matriarch of the Olympians, had to sacrifice an aspect of her feminine sensuality, the youthful girlish playfulness and glamor that Aphrodite revels in and flaunts wherever she goes. It's this sensuality that Aphrodite used to seduce Paris into choosing her beauty above Heras, even though Hera truly was more beautiful, she just carried it with a Queenlike motherly demeanor that didn't appeal to the sexual desires of Paris.

She had also been at odds with Aphrodite over the affairs she had with her son Ares, as she was married to her second son Hephaestus. Hera is the Goddess of the domestic household and the covenant of marriage, where Ares and Aphrodite were the patron deities of passionate love affairs
