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.
