Well... He didn't say a child. He said boy. He seems to be mid 20's, and Regina was the Queen for half of her life. He could've been a teenager when Regina burned down his village. After all, he said the "boy" was returning to his village. From training? From an adventure?

As for Robin's life being the price to pay for his healing, not really. The Fury was taking him away because he'd cheated death basically for free. Regina told the Fury to take her instead. So where there was no price before, Regina's life became the price for the Fury.

So while the Fury probably did shorten the lifespan of everyone who helped Regina stand up to it (explaining why it gave up so easily), the simple fact of the matter is Regina is now the price that has to be paid for Robin to remain alive. And someone like the God of Death probably doesn't like being owed souls.

So I could definitely see him storming Storybrooke in order to get her.
