While they could contrive a story to explain it, the simple explanation is that Edmund's country is in the same general vicinity as the rest of the EF. Maybe it's up closer to Arendelle (don't get mad at me for bringing it up. like it or not, it is part of the FTL universe on Once), and Arendelle is clearly a different time period from the more rustic Mysthaven/EF setting. Just as I'm sure Agrabah will be just a bit different, and yet it is also a part of the FTL setting.

Point being, just because it represents a different era/setting does not mean that it can't still be part of the FTL world. I think it would make even less sense if 19th Century France was in FTL. The Count of Monte Cristo is in no way a fairy tale or even a fantasy story. Not to mention, it is named after a specific time and country. All of the other kingdoms in FTL have completely fictional names. As for how Regina got there, she most likely already had posession of Jefferson's hat at the time. She may have even asked the Magic Mirror to find him, as we know he is capable of viewing other worlds.
