1) The Phoenix Force itself is the life force of reality. The very energies of the Big Bang turned sentient. However universes in Marvel are closed systems. After the Big Bang, that is it, everything within a reality stems from the Big Bang. Life feeds on life, energy is transferred not created anew. By leaving its formless state and taking on sentience, the Phoenix avatar became a life form itself within that closed system and was therefore drawing those life energies back into itself, thereby depriving future generations of life. Thats what Galactus was saying to her. Before she was the sum of life, but as a sentient entity unto itself it was taking away fromn that whicj it celebrated, life!
That is why the Phoenix avatar abandoned sentience and just let Rachel tap into its power without it itself taking control.
So whereas Parallax was utilising the powers of others, the Force was only guilty of taking awai ITS OWN POWER from the system.
2)Parallax as stated on panel was using chronal energies to bring about a new reality. He was basically rewinding time and making alterations here and there to events to make events turn out how he wished. I.e Coast City wouldnt have been destroyed.

"Hal Jordan unleashed violence in a vain attempt to turn back time and restore coast city to life"
Rewinding and replaying time, making modifications here and there to events isnt as impressive as atomic control of an entire reality within the palm of your hand.
Parallax used Entropy to wipe out reality, not his own power and then he never recreated a reality off of his own back, he rewound time and intended to make changes to events, but he was defeated before he could achieve his goal.
Phoenix FTW 🙂
