An example of a spoiler would be "Emma kills Henry in the final scene of the winter finale". (That's not a real spoiler, it's just an example.) Saying "We'll see a Hook/Regina adventure coming up this season." is an announcement and teaser. I'll give you that, but anything that is refers to an unaired episode, I consider to be spoilers. Unless it's like lierally the day of.

I'm probably too strict, but nonetheless it's a spoiler ([probably minor) in a discussion about a recent episode that aired.

But I should let it slide, since it wasn't overtly direct with information. I think things like interviews, convention panels and sneak peeks shouldn't really be considered spoilers since they're intentionally aired/announced to tease the viewers.

Stuff like the scene of Regina using Light Magic on Zelena in "Kansas" (which leaked in full before the episode) is definitely considered spoilers, since it wasn't intentional in the slightest.
