Oh, and I'm assuming question number 1 in the Regina part wasn't rhetorical, so I'm going to try and answer it.

The fact that Regina acts when she gets impatient does not make her competent. Emma thanked her without knowing what was about to happen to them. "Competence" suggests success. And that meeting with Pan was everything but a success. She acts impulsively and solely to achieve what she wants, that's why she keeps getting vilified.
