The Wish Realm and such are pretty basic.

Emma and co see them as fake; however, the wish simply placed her in an alternate/parallel world that was actually real.

If you woke up in a dream and knew it was as such, you think nothing matters in your dream because it's not like it's affecting real life.

As for the bottle, it's easy. There are two Hooks, so it duplicates to both Hooks. I'm sure Regina hitched a ride with Hook, so they had the same bottle.

So....the bottle split going to Hook and one to Wish Hook (likely due to location differences).
