Could Arthur have saved some sand, and then used it on Violet? I think this is definitely a possibility. He still had some in the present (well, six weeks ago present) because he used it on Snow and Charming. As far as the castle, I think it actually made it appear. However, I do think it would be funny if once Arthur is defeated and the powers of the sand overcome, his kingdom just diminishes and turns to sand. I think it would be cynically hilarious to watch his castle collapse in front of him since he basically rufeed an entire kingdom with magic.
