Note: I left out the aspect of jealously, mainly to avoid things to get nasty and bloody (remember Moulin Rouge?) Maybe we could instead just have the key motives as Predjudice/Pride for group B and just plain ambixiousness for group C.
Eek, yes, bloody Vendetta style jealousy is definately something we'd want to avoid. But I thought that general petty jealousy might work okay. Kind of a "What has she got that we haven't got" attitude on the part of the Minas Tirith girls.

If Finduilas and co. are new to the court, and Group C are being friendly to them, how would the Minas Tirith gang turn Group A against the Friends of Dol Amroth? However, while Group B are trying to convince Group A to gang up on Group C, this would probably lead to some hostility/tension between Finduilas & co, and the Minas Tirith gang.
Group A would already be slightly suspicious of the "Friends" as they themselves are from Dol Amroth, and as such should recognize the "Friends" but don't. Otherwise, you're right, it would get very messy. I think it's rather more difficult to turn the Minas Tirith girls against the Friends of Dol Amroth, as they don't have any inherent suspicion of them.
