1. Why does the Underworld look like Storybrooke? 2. Why did Hook get tortured by Hades? Why is he special?

I have some strong theories about these two, but I would still like to see a confirmation since they have been directly keeping it a secret even when the characters asked. Now, something I haven't got a clue about:

3. If Hades cares about having Hook kidnapped, why did he let him go so easily?

I know it's still early in the arc, I'm giving up hope too easily, but in 5A they left some teases unanswered like Merlin's messages about the sword and finding Nimue, so I don't know if I should trust the writers.
