We really don’t know what Hook does or doesn’t know yet. He’s had about 250 years to research a way to get revenge on Rumple though, and I believe he had to have had contact with other lands during that time – certainly Wonderland if he knows Cora, and he could have maybe still had some sort of information connection to FTL too – because Rumple wasn’t from Neverland, so Hook would need information from outside Neverland to come up with a workable plan. If it’s the case that he could still get info from FTL, it’s entirely possible that he knew that Rumple had a girl, though he wouldn’t know the current state of their relationship in SB.
The basic fact of how to kill the Dark One is to stab him with the dagger. So if Hook’s plan is to kill Rumple, perhaps he’s planning to stab him with the dagger. Perhaps he hopes that he’d then inherit the Dark One power, and would then be able to turn the tables on Rumple by pulling out his true love’s heart right in front of him.
But we don’t know that the dagger works the same in SB. It obviously has SOME power, because Rumple was able to summon the wraith, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’d transfer the power in the same way if it was used to kill Rumple. I think that if Hook does try that, that something will happen that will result in the Dark One curse being destroyed, so no one will have that power any more, and in trying to destroy Rumple, Hook would inadvertently save his soul.
I’ll be very surprised if Hook doesn’t try to charm Belle. He knows that’d drive Rumple completely crazy, so it’d be far too much fun to resist.
