Did the Northern Kingdom of Israel return from captivity in Assyria?
The people of the northern kingdom did not go into captivity in Assyria. Their aristocracy was sent to rule a province in Assyria, and that province's aristocracy was imported to rule Israel. This was a technique used by the Assyrians to ensure that aristocracies were not friendly with the inhabitants and lead uprisings, rather they would keep the people quiet. The Israelite aristocracy remained in Assyria, absorbed into the population. The ten tribes of Israelites remained in Israel.
The Babylonians who took over Assyria did the same thing when they captured southern Judea - deported the aristocracy to Babylon and brought in an unsympathetic replacement one. When Persia took over from Babylon, Cyrus gave the Judean aristocracy the option of returning to try to reclaim their estates. Some did, the remainder stayed in Babylon where they were comfortably established.
Most Assyrians have Mediterranean coloration. This coloration varies, but includes colors that might be mis-identified with a Southern German at their lightest and may be mis-indentified with Pakistani at their darkest. Nationalities with similar complexions include most Arabs, Southern Italians, Southern Spaniards, Turks, and other North Africans. Most of these groups are characterized as "White" by the United States Census Bureau, regardless of how others may see them.

Where is the throne room of Ashurbanipal located?
Not being sure this is even a serious question, the answer best available is that most Archaeologists and Historiographers believe he was one and the same with Hammurabi (who was King around the time implied). If this is true, which no one is positively sure, then his Palace would have been in Babylon at the time. Palaces however come and go, and Babylon is in ruins and much of it is under water. Despite the attempts by some to rebuild it, such a task has never been completed and likely will not ever happen, however a mock city like unto it may be built someday in the reasonable vacinity. So his throne room would be somewhere in the remains of that palace if they still exist, but I think that highly doubtful. More than likely the farthest back we may get if allowed to thoroughly excavate is Nebuchednezzar's Palace or that of Cyrus the Great (the first as far as we can tell to ever write a treatise on basic human rights) who freed all of Nebi's captives and not only allowed them return to their lands but funded great rebuilding projects.

Did Hebrews get word Sheol from Babylonian and Assyrian exiles?
Doubtful. In the biblical account of Benjamin being taken to Egypt on the order of

miserable grave. That account vastly pre-dates the Babylonian and Assyrian empires.

How did Assyria control its empire?
Those lands are the lands that now occupy modern Iraq, most of Syria and the northern part of Arabia. The First great civilization was the Sumerian then the Assyrians. After their fall, it was the Akkadian followed by the Babylonians. Have that order memorized. That is going to help you understand history.
Those were primitive governments. As the world was divided, battles have been fought. For more than 1000 years, people turned into warriors and then came the Hammurabi code which was the first known coded set of rules in history. These battling groups of people united surrounding neighbors' who became the empires of our history beginning with the Babylonian empire followed by the Persian, the Greek and the Roman Empire.

B is the only correct answer.
Why didn't Phoenicians take over Assyria or Babylon?
Answer 1
The Phoenician city-states were important centers of trade and occupied strategically important sites along the Mediterranean coast. This made them appealing targets for every major power in the region. Unfortunately for them, the Phoenician cities rarely had much of a chance to stand up the invading forces.
Answer 2
The Phoenicians did not have an army large enough to conquer either the Assyrians nor the Babylonians. Additionally, as a maritime empire, the Phoenicians would derive no benefit from acquiring land-locked provinces, such as those controlled by Assyria or Babylon.
Why did Assyria fall to Persian and Medes?
The premise of this question, namely that Assyria was defeated by the Persians and/or Medes is incorrect. The Assyrian Empire was only ever defeated by the Babylonian Empire. These defeats were brought about by internal strife within the Assyrian Kingdom. The Persians were able to conquer Babylon and acquire the previously conquered Assyria.
