Why didn't they use that during the finale? Wouldn't that have solved the problem? Those are far from the most important questions of the episode, but I just couldn't help from thinking it seemed obvious. Am I missing something?

Beside the fact that they might have found out the scroll in the next three weeks, the reason why Regina sent Robin out was to take care of Marian. Robin cannot return not because of the cloaking spell, but because Marian cannot survive in a magical enclave such as Storybrooke due to Ingrid's ice spell, and Robin cannot leave her alone in a totaly unknown world (she has no fake memories to help her adjust to it).
