I will have to look at this again later.
I was just looking at an out-of-print copy of Dr. McDonald's The Boys Were Men: The American Navy in the Age of Fighting Sail. Ironically, I had the Jefferson presidency bio in my hand last night as well.

I would assume the British did not extradite Whitby?

I don't understand what a foreign commander was doing searching our commerce. The US was by that time the United States of America, sovereign and autonomous.

I would allow the state of New York to continue its charge of murder, but through back channels look for a way to monetarily compensate for the death of the captain's brother. That way the British can save face and the family get some restitution.
At this time though, the American's have very little leverage over any European power. With six year, we will be at war with them anyway.
