Ok, a few points here.

First, until Marian pointed out that the EQ captured her as was GOING to kill her (this in Storybrooke), Regina had no idea that she had captured Marian. All Regina knew then is that she captured some random peasant that was refusing to help with her quest to capture and kill Snow White. Regina's own words was that she was "rather Vanilla".

Second, and probably more importantly, Robin recognizes his own past as a thief, and needing a second chance, and he sees that Regina is now on that same path  towards redemption and in need of a second chance. I think that most people would agree that Regina of today is not the same person (well, ok she is physically the same person, but you know what I mean) that she was when she capture Marian and did those other horrible things. I see nothing wrong with a theif that has been given a second chance to turn a new leaf extending the same towards another person in need of forgiveness.

Robin knows of what Regina did as far as capturing Marian (which in the current altered timeline is all that Regina is responsible for at this point), and has chosen to forgive Regina and move forward. and that is something that I respect Robin for.
