Dillon, it's the NEF because it shows the characters in flashbacks before the new curse was cast either sitting in front of the ruins of the tower or exploring those ruins. I particulary remember one scene with Regina and Drizella, where Regina first discovers that Drizella has magic. I also think I remember another with Regina, Hook, Henry, and Cinderella talking in the ruins.

I could be wrong and these could just be jumbled bits of previous episodes that i mixed together in my head.

As far as we know, this is the original (and possibly only) Gothel. The other Rapunzel's "witch" was actually just a manifestation of herself as her own greatest fear.
