I think that everyone who fell through the portal would've been sent to the time frame the FIRST one to fall was sent to, for instance, if Zelena had succeeded, anyone who jumped would've been sent to Cora's peasant days. As Emma falls first, I'd assume Hook just goes with her.

Regarding Hook's father, I personally believe they intended to make Blackbeard his father, but I'm not sure.
