New Zealand Flax

Phormium .... don't know the Cultivar

You might want to remove it from in front of that window, it might be at its max height but I doubt it....

A shovel and lots of Elbow Grease needed.

You can Move it, prune leaves hard and divide up clump into smaller Plants

Definitely. From a plant of that size you will get dozens of smaller plants. I'd cut them back after you dig them out though because you might need to pull on the leaves to shift it. It's not too tough a job and the small ones establish again quickly enough.
