My purple passion plant is really happy and thriving. The roots are starting to worry me: do they like to be rootbound or should I repot now? Also, is it supposed to be getting so tall/less bushy/leggy?

Pull off the pot. Check the entire root system to determine if it needs a repot. Those roots coming out the bottom could be attracted to the excess water in the drainage tray. It may not be a sign it needs repotting.
