Its a Wisteria. It won't die by cutting, just move someplace else by way of shoots just below the soil surface. You will have to VERY carefully poison the Wisteria without poisoning the Arborvitae. No, I have no idea how to do that.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
