Emma does have the power to tell Henry to do things, however, she does not have the legal responsibility. Regina does. It's a moot point anyway, as Henry would have followed them regardless. and there's a deleted scene apparently where his mother and Emma tell him he's not going, and he tells them he'll go anyway. XD
