Default Mahonia/oregon grape question

A lot of people call it Holly, it's not. I have a bunch of it in my front yard.
I have two questions.
When, like now, can I cut it back and how far back? Some of it's about 20"
tall, but I would like it to be lower.
And, when I cut off the new growth, not the growth that will come back from
cutting the plant back, but the growth that keeps coming to enable the plant to
spread in the area it covers, can I clip off this growth and hit it with
Brush-B-Gon or with this damage the plant?
