Hook confessed many many times that the only thing he's driven by after Milah's death is him getting his revenge on Rumpelstilskin.

A dagger can be used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon. Back when Rumpelstilskin killed Zoso he stabbed him directly through the heart. So Zoso had no chance of survival left. Stabbing him elsewhere could mean that Mr. Gold is wounded. This weakens him, but actually it's not enough to cause the dagger to transfer the Dark One's powers to Hook. I'm under the impression that, although it's his desire to kill Rumpel Hook doesn't know which consequences he might face if he'd ever succeed in killing his enemy.

Then agian, Kilian Jones alias Hook still seems to have some fighting experience.

No matter, how much Gold or Rumpel disliked someone he only broke one deal in his life and since then, he tries to fixe it. Gold says he honors his agreements. Because of his experience with Bae he wouldn't dare to break one more. I think Emma does honor agreemants, too. And seriously, what reason does she have to lie in order to protect Neil? All she knows is that this guy abandoned her for no reason. At least, she doesn't know about the reason "August, his story and his box", yet.

I'm not sure if  Cora actually knows the Latin saying Pacta sunt servanda but I say she's a person who quickly changes her mind if necessary. I think she relies on the fact that won't expect her to annual the agreement while she does. However, Mr. Gold and Cora made a deal about a globe being able to find Bae in exchange for leaving her alone and giving Cora the chance trying to win her daughter back. Peace wasn't part of the deal, was it? Cora just said it was a peace offering. Depends on how Mr. Gold interprets the "leaving alone".
