When he comes back from the dead, he continues to play the role of adviser and the behind-the-scenes motivator, but he's clearly more powerful than before, and profoundly so. I don't think it's just the invulnerability, I think, as you say, if it came down to a one-to-one battle with Sauron, they would be at least evenly matched. It's my suspicion that he was sent back by the Valar/Iluvatar as the ultimate weapon if all else failed, since the first attempt at sending the Istari had failed completely. Who would want to make that mistake twice? And even though Sauron is powerful, he was defeated once before by the Last Alliance: Elves and Men, no Maiar involved, so it's not a stretch to think that another Maia on steroids could knock him off.

A herald in battle would be a worthy leader and formidable fighter themselves
