Okay, just to answer the question about how powerful Peter is/why he gives even Rumple pause, think about the actual Peter Pan story. In that story Peter is basically omnipotent, having remained in Neverland for so long that he is pretty much entirely attuned to it and it caters to his wants and wishes. The island where make-believing is a power and Pan is the master at that. In the book in states that he could do things like simply pretend to eat and his stomach would actually become fuller. I could link you guys to the article that makes me believe what I'm saying could be true but I doubt anyone will even read this. But the point was: Peter Pan is more or less a God (at least while he remains on the island, I'm not sure if he weakens with distance or possibly just time away from the island, but there, his will is all).
