I also think that she didn't suspect anything at first and then she faked the second spell... By the way, It seems that the revelation of Zelena being alive is decision made very late, because, for example during the Elsa's snow man's attack, when she thought that Regina wasn't there, she seemed so frightened, but nobody was watching... I don't think Zelena would act that way Maybe not. But keep in mind that Zelena is a few tacos short of a combo platter. She JUST got back to Storybrooke, and in a disguise. She is probably not ready, at that time, to have her true self exposed, so she she has to withold the use of magic until the last possible moment. Kinda like that game of Freight Train Chicken that Cruella played with Regina.

In fact, I think the comparison between Marian/Zelena with Marshmallow and Regina with the QOD fits well. Both were undercover, and trying to maintain that cover. which means that they have to act differently than they normally would. Which means that they are more vulnerable than normal, which is scary for anyone.
