Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Need some Begonia info please, 0 by Noreaster

I purchased a Begonia last year that caught my eye at a nursery last year and put it in a pot. I knew nothing about them, and I still know nothing about them....somehow I find them very perplexing/intimidating, with all the different types! I didn't want to lose my Begonia at the end of last season, and I don't know how to do cuttings, so I just brought the whole plant inside, and it was fine. My question is, is there anything special I need to know about regarding re-potting it? It's gotten quite large for it's container, so I guess it is time. I have one that is about 2" bigger, all the way around that I'd like to move it to...I just want to make sure I do it correctly so any tips you can give me on that would be appreciated. I'm only used to moving things like hosta, for the most part.

Also, are these supposed to bloom all season in the summer? Mine only bloomed for a period, and I did not fertilize it other than what came premixed into the potting soil. Should I be supplementing regular fertilizer in addition to the potting soil (Miracle Grow or whatever). Thanks very much.

Here is my Begonia at the start of last season
