Zelena didn't get powers from the tornado as far as we know because Dorothy and Walsh weren't shown to have any magical powers of their own. However, it is weird that a Sorceress (naturally born) could be born to a future witch and a random nobody.

Rumple wasn't dead. He just lost his corporeal form and was sent back to the Vault. Zelena was saved by the pendant/ life force fleeing her body. She assumes a smoke form (which Regina showed she could do when she "possessed" Snow, maybe a smoke astral projection form).

Zelena's power had nothing to do with the pendant until Glinda put it on her. Glinda assumingly made the pendant for herself and her sister witches, so it's nothing like the Kris Dagger.

There really isn't much similarities and the Oz prophecy isn't related to Emma's journey at all. I do love how you summarize the concepts of the land.
