Name of this plant please

Got two pots of this plant from someone. They didn't know it had mealy bugs! It looks like Golden Pothos on steroids! It's vining and had originally been growing on a wood plank. The wood plank was removed and some of the roots were cut off. So I ended up with two pots of this plant without a stake to hold them up. Two of the vines are broken.

I treated both pots with an insecticide for outdoor use and put them in a bag overnight. I see dead mealybugs. For one pot, I divided into sections for propagation. I noticed a lot of markings on some of the leaves and threw those ones out.

Now I have one more pot with two stems. One stem is broken. I can cut the stem where the plant looks healthy in order to propagate. I don't know what I would do with all of them! And I certainly am worried about spreading mealybugs onto my other plants.

I don't think I want to unpot my last pot and repot. It's rather big.

So, first of all, can you confirm what plant this is?

Then, please offer any advice in order to get rid of the mealybugs. Remember though, that I am in Canada and do not have a lot of the insect treatment products that you may have.

If this is a common plant, I may have to throw a lot of it out. I don't have a room to put this plant into that doesn't have plants already!
