It really wasn't necessary to explain the Tom Ellis to Sean Maguire Robin Hood recast from an in-universe perspective, but the way the chose to do it was pretty clever.

As far as Will and Robin's first meeting goes, "Forget Me Not" never specified when and how they first met, so it was perfectly reasonable for the show to give us that information. It is curious that he was in Oz, but I got the impression that he may have been there for the same reason Robin was, but without knowing exactly what he was looking for.
