How big should your core force be? Does the AI generally match it in size to balance the two forces? I ask because I don't like to play with huge numbers of units, there is too much micromanagement for me. My ideal size is a battalion of infantry, some recon (platoon of ACs, company of infantry),a company of assorted armour, some support vehicles, a heavy weapons company and lots of mortars. If I play with this as my core units, and don't add a lot of support units, will I be overwhelmed or will the AI match it?

I say, go ahead and choose your force and just see what happens. But most of the prewritten scenarios I've played on have a preselected force that is explained in the setup text and you play them to the best of your abilities.

If you are playing a generated (not designer-created) campaign, keep purchase points for the AI set at XXX in Preferences. It will then purchase based off the value of your force.

The type of engagement counts most. In a meeting engagement, you and the AI are about equal. If you are defending against an assault, then the AI is going to out-number you. The AI also will always get extra units if you use AI+200 in the preferences.
