tempo and moving same piece twice

When the enemy brings their queen out early in the game, such as on turn 2, I feel conflicted about the rule for not moving the same pieces twice in the opening. Are you supposed to repeatedly threaten the queen no matter what, even if it means moving the same piece twice?

is there a better place white could put his queen instead of 5.Qf4 ?

Absolutely...as long as you're ok with giving the pawn back.
