He "inadvertingly put her into harm's way during the job". I know it was mentioned that Snow and Robin know each other back in the time when Snow was a bandit. Still, I believe Marian ending up in Regina's dungeon to be executed the next day because she didn't tell where to find Snow is an event that occured because the time line was already effected by Hook's and Emma's arrival. Or at least for me it's a disturbing thought that pixie dust brought Robin and Regina together despite the fact that she pretty much tried to kill his wife. (There'sno Place like home.) Not a good foundation to start a relationship.At the beginning of the episode (before changing anything) Snow Drifts Regina was so honest to tell Robin how she knows that he's her soulmate (lion tattoo) I think she would have rememberered if she'd once imprisioned Marian. When Tinker Bell used the pixie dust, Regina was not the Evil Queen yet. She was young, and just started training with Rumplestiltskin. It was also implied that Robin Hood was not yet a bandit, nor did he meet Maid Marian. Marian did not tell anyone who she was, to protect her family. Which expains why Robin did not know, that the Evil Queen (originally) killed her. This is what Tinker Bell was talking about, when she said Regina ruined her soulmate's life.

Does that mean that Regina and Robin Hood are doomed? No.... this is just a bump in the road. Marian is likely going to die, one way or another. She has cheated death, more than once. Marian does not belong in Storybrooke, because her fate was to die. Robin Hood was forced to raise Roland, on his own. He is not the same man, he was when he lost his wife. Robin also has developed, real feelings towards Regina. It was also implied that Robin Hood was not yet a bandit, nor did he meet Maid Marian.

I agree with you that hadn't met  Marian by the time he was sitting in the tavern. But, please tell me, how exactly was it implied he was not a bandit? Being a bandit or no doesn't interfere with falling in love, does it?

''Marian did not tell anyone who she was, to protect her family. Which expains why Robin did not know, that the Evil Queen (originally) killed her. This is what Tinker Bell was talking about, when she said Regina ruined her soulmate's life.''

Robin would have gone searching for Marian if he had any idea she was imprisioned and about to be killed, wouldn't he? What strikes me about Marian's imprisonment is that she was imprisioned because she didn't tell the Queen where to find Snow. According to EP 313 (before everything changed)  Robin kept saying that it was his fault that she died. He accidently put Marian into harm's way during the job.

Like Tome Cre said If you ask me, something doesn't fit here. In his version Robin doesn't even mention Snow. The statements are inconsistent. A side effect of the time travelling?
