From what I gather Hook was rather influenced by the relationship with his brother and Milah. It seems to me that  his father didn't have much influence on him. So, I'd say Emma doesn't know Hook's backstory in detail, but she knows the important things that matter most. Both, Liam's and Milah's death shaped Hook more than his father ever could, I think. I don't think he's father was ever as important to him as his older brother.

Personally, I wonder how Hook will deal with the fact that he's a Captain without a ship now. Hook almost spent half his life aboard the Jolly Roger, formally known as Jewel of the Realm. Now, he traded her for the opportunity to get to Emma. Probably that'll be a problem. Who knows, maybe he'll miss the sea someday.
