I've wondered that myself! There was an entire episode dedicated to Cora/Hook/Emma/MM finding an compass to direct the portal to SB - yet it hasn't been necessary for any other portal jump!

HATS - I can understand Jefferson controlling the hat - and I think Regina directed it when the wraith, Emma and MM went through it.

BEANS - BF 'programmed' Bae's bean to take him to LWM. Hook 'programmed' his to go to Neverland and the revitalised one to go to LWM. Tamara's wouldn't have been 'programmed' at all so how does it know where to go??

WARDROBE/SPARKLY DIRT - Gepetto 'programmed' the wardrobe to go to LWM - so why wouldn't the 'sparkly dirt' take them there? Why did they need a compass?

Can't think of anymore portal jumps off the top of my head lol!

As to what it means for Neal - I think all the spoilers point to the fact that he's ended up in FTL with Aurora/Mulan/Philip.
