The theories are interesting, and I'm sure you are on to something. However, I'd also like to point out that the writers sometimes do things not because they have a big explanation for it, but simply because it is an interesting thing to do. Exploring Jekyll and Hyde thematically fit the show, allowed for a new story to be introduced, and gave them a good way to bring back the Evil Queen. I'm sure those were the big things they were thinking about when they brought this onto the show. The actual mechanics of what the serum is doing was probably not strongly defined.
