Hi Oviduim.
A trunk chop is probably the best way to sort this tree out like cheryl said, but I have another idea up my sleeve, ever heard of Air layering?
I have attached a pic, if you attempt the airlayer where the black mark is on the picture (the red ones are just branches my Obsessive Compulsive wants to see removed), you will save the fairly nice broom style tree that comes off the second bend, and you can do a trunk chop with the remaining stump and roots.
Two potentially very nice trees for the price of one.
I'd put it in the bigger pot, and wait until August before you Air layer, and a year before you chop, doing a re-pot and chop at the same time is pretty much a death sentence.
Pot size, I'd go for something maybe half the length, Width and Depth again of the size its in.
