Are you joking? Tony never tells anyone what his plan is! He didn't tell anyone about SHRA. He didn't tell anyone on his team he was going on the run because he was being mind controlled and killing people. He's faked his death a number of times. Without telling Pepper.
As to sleeping with Maria: Why wouldn't he? They were both capable people who decided to have a bit of comfort sex. Even if he wasn't about to die, he was melting his own brain, and that had to be as scary as hell. She was there and willing and one of the few people in the world who still liked him. This is the guy who picked up Jan on the rebound without telling her he was Iron Man.
Bucky totally blamed him loads, so did Thor, but they were still heroes. Both of them are incredibly deadly, both of them could hold a grudge like woah, but both of them are still heroes. Bucky at least was trying to live up to Steve, this involved living up to him, whether he liked it or not. Plus he and Tony had a decent, if not excellent working relationship at this point, so I don't think he hate hate hated him after he got Steve's letter (which Steve had entrusted to Tony, even in the middle of their fight).
In Thor #11, Thor summoned Steve's spirit and asked if he wanted to be avenged. Steve emphatically said that he did not, and that there had been enough killing, and don't you dare. Thor said okay.
