My Albizia lebbeck / Flea Tree is growing quickly (see photo) and this is the result after only 3 months. I would actually prefer to keep it this size and "fear" how it will look 3 month from now if I don't do anything... Should I prune it? And how?
Any advice is helpful to me.

I would pretty much advise you to let it grow for now. You have a very young tree there that needs to develop in a healthy way. If you prune it now you will do damage to it as the tree feeds through the leafs by doing photosynthesis. I would personally say it is better to let the tree develop and then have lots of options for pruning and styling than doing it now and hurt it.
I second Rong on that one. Also put your tree outside if you can, it will grow faster. Make sure you put it in a larger pot if need be so that you can get even more growth. It looks healthy, so that's a good start.
