At some point wouldn't gravity override the expansion and cause a contraction again?

Heres a great source

It explains why the universe will have a cold death instead of a heat death.

Right now the universe is expanding and its expanding faster today than yesterday. Things could change, but current math points to a cold death

I always interpreted "heat death" as "the death of heat" instead of "a hot death"

Your interpretation is correct.
