1. Pretty sure Regina would have used the apprentice wand to jump realms. No mention Fairy Crystals also jump realms and Magic mirrors and Jefferson hat.So there are a ton of ways to travel between realms. She doesn't have the time to look for them, and the items you mentioned can only travel between realms with magic. They needed to go to the Land Without Magic, which is reachable through the curse which is available at that time.
