My concern is, there's a famous movie based on the Russian Princess Anastasia from the 90's (usually attributed to Disney due to the similar art style to Hunchback Of Notredame and the close release dates between the two movies). And in that movie, Anastasia is very much a princess (whereas our Ana is a Queen) and she loses her memory, and falls in love with a conman and thief who saved her life and reintroduces her to royal life (Will saved her from death, and was the reason she became Queen in the first place, then helps her reclaim her kingdom).

So maybe Ana lost her memory (which isn't farfetched at all in this show) and then Will was banished to the EF or Storybrooke by someone (Jafar?) with no way to help her restore her memories and Anastasia is not only the White/Red Queen and the Evil Stepsister, but also Princess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia.

I think you're reaching a bit far here. Just because people associate Anastasia with Disney doesn't mean it is Disney or that Disney owns the rights to it (they don't as far as I'm aware). I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's highly unlikely.
