What factors kept England from throwing its full support to the confederacy?

Initially - doubts about the viability of the Confederacy. They wanted to back a winner.

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made it impossible for free nations abroad to support the South without looking pro-slavery themselves. Especially good diplomatic work by Lincoln's envoy in London - C.F. Adams (of the Presidential family).
