Actually, Emma would only remember Neal as the guy who abandoned her. She wouldn't want anything but distance from him. But yeah, it was rushed and they didn't plan well a motive for Hook and Neal being sent back.

As to Ingrid, they were searching Sarah Fisher in the census. They found her real name later, I guess. She could have been cursed, if I remember correctly.
