    It is hard to get rid of hummingbird vines, also known as trumpet vine. The methods in this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/trumpet-vine/kill-trumpet-vine.htm

    You will not be able to stop it from sending shoots up unless you kill it completely. If you plan on killing it, using a paintbrush to immediately paint the fresh cuts of the remaining roots or suckers with Roundup will help to kill the vine and using a paintbrush will guarantee that the surrounding plants are not harmed by overspray from the chemical.

    I would guess that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio is off. The soil may have an abundance of nitrogen, which would result in nice, healthy green growth but little to no blooms. Without the right amount of phosphorus, it will not bloom well. Bone meal is a great way to add phosphorus.

    Most likely it is getting too much nitrogen. Give it some phosphorus, such as bone meal, to counter this. Phosphorus helps with blooming. This article will explain more: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm

    For most plants, I would say this might cause problems. But for trumpet vines, I think you should be ok. They are perhaps one of the hardest to kill plants in North America. They can take alot of damage and keep on going.
