What you have right now is the natural growth habit of this plant. I have never considered trying to 'restrain' it to have more 'erect' shape. New growth, I don't believe, would 'follow' this pattern. This one in the corner of my backyard had been in a pot for more than 20 years. I put it in the ground about 20 years ago. I've never done anything to it, except to cut back dead leaves.
editing to add that yes, you certainly could put it in a larger…20" pot.
