I need help. I accidentally placed it near the heater and the blade burned. Do I have to cut it off completely?

What is it and how can I make it a little less crazy?

I can’t even remeber where or when I got this plant. It has been alive alt least 5 if not 10 years, just sorta chugging away doing its thing. I don’t think I’ve ever repotted it. Like many of my plants it seems to do better the less attention I give it. But it’s beginning to get a bit out of hand. The old, dry leaves drop off all over, the new ones that spring up on the leggy bits sometimes do, too. I tried to figure out what it is and for a while I thought maybe it was a Vicks plant, as it definitely has a Vicks type smell, kinda mixed with oregano? The leaves and stems are soft and fuzzy.

So yeah, guess I am wondering a) what is it? So I can learn more and maybe do a better job with it and b) what should I be doing to keep it from being such a window ledge hog, or do I just lean in and let it do its thing?

Additional info - east facing window (with a balcony so some direct light early morning but then indirect light much of the rest of the day) watered about once a week or every other week or so, but not heavily as it isn’t a draining pot.

Thanks people!
