Try taking some scissors and cutting every vine as close to the ground as possible. This should kill the main plant and allow the other vines to die and dry up so they cam be removed.

Your dodder is still small. Pulling it up and untangling it from the pepper will get rid of it IF it hasn't rooted into the pepper. Once that happens, the ties to the soil are severed. If I have an infected plant, I pull it. Its not something I want spreading to my other plants and it will attack anything.
