The Pendant thing is season 3. The pendant stored her magic and prevented her from dying from the stab. Zelena's life force left her body and her magic left the pendant and reformed her body.

The pendant is useless, unless she puts it on and thenm it'll do the same thing as before. Right noe she's just an ordinary powerful sorceress. This hasen't actually been clarified on the show yet, we don't know if the pendant is still holding her lifeforce or not after it prevented her death in Season 3. I'm guessing they will get around to explaining it eventually. For the record, I believe the pendant is still holding her lifeforce. Well, when it released her magic, I would assume everything was released. Plus, the way Zelena said, her life force fled her body and she and her magic (The green smoke) when to the past with Emma and Hook. Yeah, that's my point, the pendant was not destroyed, so like a horcrux, Zelena was not actually killed. Sense the pendant is still presumably safe in Regina's vault, I think should someone try to kill Zelena again, we will just reform again.
