A link on one of the other threads for an interview with Elizabeth Mitchell pointed out that Ingrid was trapped in the Urn for around 20 years. Which would be just about right for the time frame from when Ingrid was trapped until her freedom. Probably a little more than 20 years, since Elsa is probably definitely in her Mid-20's (at least) when she and Kristoff encounter Ingrid. Ingrid's control over her magic is too great. She msut have been released by rumple or someone else and was able to master her skills. Her being trap in the urn was probably her set up to meet Elsa, pretend like it is her first time knowing her. Between Gerda and Han's urn moment, I think Ingrid was already working with Rumple or training with someone else.
