Indeed, While I had not thought of it in quite those terms, that is an apt comparison (minus the fact that Lady Tremaine is unable to use magic, of course). Lady Tremaine definitely embodied the less desireable aspects of Cora without any of her redeeming qualities. She was pure evil. And she played it very well. She chewed the scenery very well with her presence.

And I think the episode does a decent job placing the events of "the Price of Gold" (which were still not totally nailed down) in terms of the overall timeline. The Cinderella episodes (Price of Gold and Other Shoe) put the royal Ball at just after the Royal Wedding, the Royal wedding within a month of the Royal Ball, and Ella's pregnancy either on the Wedding night or very soon after.

Now, for the story being set up. David's story (finally, a slow burn on a charming story). Interesting that we're finding out that there's more to the story regarding Charming's dad. But... Why is everyone saying that Killian is the one that murdered Daddy Charming? There is no reason to suspect that, unless there is a LOT more about daddy Charming than what we knew. Killian, at the time of the murder, is (for all we know) still in Neverland, and I can't see how Killian, or Peter wouild want to have the man murdered. Besides, I don't see Killian killing a man and making it look like and accident. His MO would more seem to be to bring him aboard the JR, and then either have him walk the plank, or just kill him and dump his body overboard. And he'd be likely to do that in Neverland to make sure the body was never found.

But that's just my thought. My bet is that there is some character coming from the LoUS that will be the culprit.
