Question: At the end of the movie when Barbossa's crew is freed from the curse why do they surrender if in all likelihood they would be hung? Was there the possibility of them only being imprisoned?

Question: Does anyone know what the spiral and dot on the back of the Pirates of the Caribbean medallion mean/represent?
Answer: The symbol on the back is called the "chimali". It's a symbol of harmony, similar to the yin yang.
Answer: They could possibly escape from imprisonment (as Pintel and Ragetti obviously did). But they didn't know what to do once they were no longer cursed. It's possible that they forgot how to fight without intentionally taking wounds.
