I think Zelena's really dead. My guess is she created a fail-safe beforehand that would trigger upon her death to open the time travel portal. She's gambling that someone would get dragged inside the portal and change past events in such a way that she doesn't get killed in the altered timeline (butterfly effect and all that).

You mean it was just a tribute to the China Country from the original books, don't you? /: ) Disney certainly didn't make up the China people...in either of their Oz movies.
