They were from Agrabah because Amara only wanted her sons, not other genies.

As for the timeline, they said they were frozen for 30 years, which means shortly before the curse. Even when they say that Ingrid waited many years, there is nothing on the show that demonstrates that. Noe the people could be guessing 30 years and mean like 34 years, but it can't be much greater then that.

Timeline shenanigan-wise, Anna went back to Arendelle around the time Rumple got Belle. Belle stayed with him for a year and then was imprisoned by Regina for 3-4 years based on markings on the cell.

Once Rumple had Belle for a week or so, Robin stole the FGM's wand. Rumple got the wand after trading David in, which we know Anna visited before David became prince. Marian was pregnaant with Roland who's like 4 or 5. Blajamo!
