Please! No more cutting!
The tree is very weak. Let it grow for now, and fertilize. Use fish emulsion every week from now until the first of December. This will help it develop buds for next spring.
That top section above the bar branches is dead. You always have to leave some needles (foliage) on a branch (trunk). They're what pulls food up the sap line. So, you CAN cut that section off.
One of those two remaining branches up top can (should) be wired up to become the new leader. If you want a tall tree eventually.
The internodes on this tree are far apart. Internodes, if you don't know, are the distances between branches. Pines usually only produce branches at internodes. So, you're not likely to get any more branches on this tree without grafting.
It's possible to get dormant needle buds to pop, but it's rare. And the tree has to be really strong for that to happen.
So fertilize well, next spring up pot into a slightly larger, deeper pot to build strength. And bury those surface roots a bit.
