Hook managed to escape the Enchanted Forest, as Snow White's curse was swallowing everyone else. Neal chose Hook, because he knew Hook would succeed in finding Emma. I would not be surprised, if there was a reference to how Hook got to New York in the finale. However, we will probably not learn the exact details, until Season 4.

Emma's whole arc this season, is about taking a leap of faith. If she knew the details of what Hook sacrificed to save her, that would negate everything about her character developement. Emma needs to learn how to trust her heart, and not be clouded by her past issues.
