The Galactus fight was poorly written, everyone admits to that. You can tell by the HORRENDOUS dialogue that something craptacular was going on.
But aside from that -
Regarding Thanos : Thanos had 6 isssues of "prep time" to take on "DP" Tyrant, that's what the ENTIRE Cosmic Powers 1-6 was about. Thanos quest to challenge himself against a powerful opponent but first he had to find his strengths and weaknesses. Thanos went searching for info on Tyrant and came across Terrax who told him the "orbs of power are both his biggest strength and greatest vulnerability should it be used against him." Thanos then gets his hands on an orb and challenges Tyrant. Tyrant by his very nature DOESN'T go in for the kill immediately, just KO because he sees all creatures as a potential power source to draw energy from. Thanos with orb held his own until Tyrant had enough and wanted to kill him, then Thanos tped away.
Regarding his fight vs Surfer and the other high heralds - he STATED on panel he didn't want them dead, that they were kept alive to be drained and to power his vessel. He was draining power both from them and their weapons. Apparently he can even draw power from mystic artifacts because Stormbreaker was there and it was getting drained. Pro tip, how did he lift Stormbreaker and place it into his machine? Did he overpower on of Odin's enchantments?
Regarding his Galactus encounters - Galactus wanted no part of DP Tyrant. Their first meeting after his exile, he claims to have been in hiding till he had gained his power back (so does the term "DP" is meaningless) and now he could reclaim his empire. Galactus took Tyrant by surprise and Tyrant wasn't ready for Galactus, yet it was Tyrant that made Galactus back down, not the other way around.
Before their final showdown. Galactus told Morg to find him a suitable world so that he would be at his best for the Tyrant fight, also Galactus wanted to fight Tyrant on HIS terms on HIS home territory. Galactus claimed he hadn't felt this strong in ages after he devoured that world and went back to his worldship to prepare.
I agree that the final showdown SUCKED. Bad writing and improbable scenarios (Galactus "forgetting" Tyrant's powerset is just one of them).
The scans are in the Tyrant Respect thread so people can view them for themselves.
