In the equilibrium, small increases and small decreases should be equally likely, with an unimaginably low probability of high decreases (which becomes 0 if the universe is infinite).
Yes, but our universe is not in equilibrium or anywhere near equilibrium. We’re in a very low entropy state right now and the state which is in equilibrium is extremely high entropy.

I agree—but, if understood correctly the OP, he is averaging over a time scale much larger than the time required to reach the equilibrium.
