Back to full power?
He didn't go back to anything. At full power, he waded through the cosmic deities. Unless, your suggesting the group of heroes were more durable than the group of cosmics?
All valid points, but if Thanos was serious about defeating them, he could have wiped them from existence using the gauntlet. Check out Thanos's fight with Champion of the Universe if you want to see how well he deals with opponents who are stronger than he is.
Entropy is simply useless energy, or heat. It's not as devestating as it sounds.

Yup, sure looks like he was toying with them here...
Thanos own words after this...
"What have I been doing? Must have been out of my mind..."
"They came SO CLOSE. I nearly lost it all...!"
"Let me once again be ALL that I CAN BE!"
"I WILL MYSELF BACK TO FULL POWER!"
Taken straight from the book, right on my lap. After that is when the cosmics showed up and he handed them their ass...with the Gauntlet of course...

Of course...if he did that...then we wouldn't have an entertaining story to read. He toned down the Gauntlet to 5% of its power in addition to his own to give the heroes a fair chance.
When things weren't going too well, He willed himself back to full strength.
Entropy when the universe dies is a different serious matter, but I get your drift also, and you are also correct.

He uttered these words after Silver Surfer nearly took the gauntlet as Silver Surfer sped past at the speed of light. That is what he is referring to.
Thanos cut himself off from all input from the Gauntlet. Warlock knew that the heroes had no chance of defeating Thanos. The plan was to keep him destracted so that SS could grab the Gauntlet. It almost worked, but SS missed.
