Hello there! 😀
The producers came out and confirmed that Mr. Gold didn’t gain his memory until he heard Emma’s name in the pilot. That’s why he was so desperate to get Emma’s name fron Snow and Charming in the pilot. It was his way of ensuring that he would eventually regain his memory once she came to town.

As for Mr Gold – nah, no way this was because of Bae. If it was, he would’ve been kind to Henry before as well, not just in this particular moment (unless he found out about Neal??? ). If you listen to what he’s actually saying while giving the gift to Henry:
Actually, Mr. Gold has been polite to Henry in the past. In “The Return,” Henry wanders into Mr. Gold’s shop and Mr. Gold is quite sweet with him. So, we’ve seen Mr. Gold treat Henry with kindness before.
And like others have said, I’m almost certain that Neal will turn out to be Bae, and this particular scene was just a set up to progress a possible relationship between Gold and Henry.
Yes, I agree. In fact, I think we’re overthinking this. 😆 Mr. Gold has been trying to clean up his act (a little bit) for Belle. He reattached Dr. Whale’s arm for free, and he gave Henry the necklace for free. It’s the writers’ way of showing that Mr. Gold is softening up a bit. And on top of that, Henry probably reminded him of Baelfire. Smart, brave, moral, and desperate to pull their parents away from the path of evil. So, Mr. Gold probably identifies with that.
And to point out the obvious, the writers are probably trying to create a connection between Mr. Gold and Henry to set up the eventual reveal that Henry is in fact his grandson.
