Fruits and Nuts: Need advice on pruning this fig tree in a pot, 3 by cindyeo

My father passed away a little over a year ago, and I inherited this fig tree. I've done nothing to it for the past 18 months except water it. I've gotten many figs off it and I want to keep it, I just need some advice. I just took it out of the garage yesterday, and was surprised to see some figs already. I read up on it and apparently these are the breba crop. My question is, how could I possibly repot this, the soil must be tired, but the plant is so large I can't dump it out very easily. And can you tell from the photos, should I prune it? And when, I'll lose these figs if I do it now, but is that better than losing the large crop later this summer? I'm not sure why the main stem is so low, if he did that on purpose or if it was an accident, but I suppose I'm stuck with it this way now.
