Anyway, my first question concerns a plant that has taken over
sections of my fence. It is some sort of weed/shrub that grows
very tall and curly with woody, tough stalks, with leaves and
small reddish buds. It is not altogether unsightly but it has
taken over my honeysuckle plants and grows over everything. It
is dense and thick.

first thing to do is make sure it's not poison ivy...
