1. Because Pan/Shadow owns Neverland. It is his and it does what he wants it to. He let the Joneses leave because he's either a sadist or had some grand scheme involving torturing Hook; he let Bae go to our world because he needed Bae to make Henry (which, um, gross. and I mean that in the most complimentary way—I do so love watching a good evil psycho do xir thing), but letting Rumpel go to TLWM after Bae would be counterproductive for him, ergo it would not happen.

2. Rumpel is scared shitless of Pan and always has been. Why would he subject himself to Neverland if he could use his much safer curse instead?

3. If he went through the second star to the right, in our world he would have no magic, so he couldn't find Bae anyway.
