That would mean that either A)Alice works for Tremaine and Ivy, or B)Alice is actually a villain who might lead Rumple astray after they partner up in 1x04. But with her on pills, only A would make sense. And I highly doubt it because Tremaine and Ivy don't seem to interact with Tilly other than Tremaine pepperspraying her. Or C) they had another reason for being in the Land Without Magic that isn't evil, like Snow's curse. Maybe they were trying to get to Storybrooke. Or maybe they were trying to take the Witch's magic away. There are lots of reasons to cast the Dark Curse.

Unless she used fairy dust, she would have to kill whoever she loves most, and she is presented as being a lonely character. If she is both the guardian, the curse caster, and having a prominent LGBTQ romance, that would give her too many different storylines for only a recurring character.
