They take over, I know. But I thought a huge pot with a trellis behind it would be nice. What do you think?

Yes you can, and here is a great article that might be helpful - https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/morning-glory/morning-glory-in-pots.htm - good luck
The original plants will stay in the pots, but the seeds will be invading NJ by seasons end. Once you plant these guys, they will be everywhere, EVERYWHERE. Getting them out of your garden beds, along fence lines and every other piece of bare ground you have will be a nightmare. Your neighbors will be less than happy with you, as well. Why not plant a perennial climber in that pot, instead, one without the invasive qualities of morning glory? Clematis or Passion Vine?
These do great in containers but beware they shed their seeds everywhere and u spend the next couple of years weeding them out of all the other containers!
Be careful what you plant in the container ANNUALS ONLY If you live where there is frost you will lose your perennials every year as they will not survive the winter
Sure! But be mindful of the seeds they drop and sweep up regularly so your yard doesn't turn into a morning glory farm. ☺
I have grown them in large pits in the past and found them easier to maintain and control.
