This guy was very small last year. Only produced about 3-4 peppers. I overwintered it and it has exploded in growth the past couple months (the 4th picture was it in February) should I trim it back? Should I put it in a bigger pot? Any advice for a bigger harvest?

I wouldn’t unless you feel it’s getting wild. Those are all solar panels for growth for it. And at least to me doesn’t look super crazy. I put my Carolinas in 40 gal pots, and only trimmed lower growth near soil/touching soil.
Bigger pot wise, I think it’s up to you. As long as it’s in right conditions via overwintering or outside, only gets bigger, produces, and eventually grows bark. If you want a bigger plant, up size the pot. They will grow as much as you let it/give a plethora of resources to.
Bigger pot don’t prune. Looks great.
If things are going well why make a change? M advice is to let it do what it’s gonna.
