Because based on Ingrid being in town since season 1 (which according to season 4A she was) she took her sweet old time getting around to her plan. Whatever it was. So she probably did know of Zelena, but maybe decided to stroll into action after seeing that if her plan had succeeded she never would have met Emma. My theory is that Ingrid didn't target Marian specifically (and didn't know Zelena was Marian) but just kind of cursed the first non-essential person who came in there. Also, Marian/Zelena did call Regina a "monster", which Ingrid probably overheard and that's why Ingrid targeted her because Ingrid has been called a monster more than once, including by her sister Gerda.
