Unhappy mealybugs on my malipoense

I've tried to deny it but I now have to admit to myself that I have a mealybug problem on my Paph. malipoense. I noticed one large adult a week ago, squished it and didn't think anything about it. Today I noticed another adult. I just did a pretty thorough check and while I don't see anymore adults I did find a small cluster of nymphs. I pulled out the isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip and removed the ones that I found.

What should I do now? Do I just monitor it very closely for more? I'm a little afraid to repot it as I just got it a month ago and I paid a lot for it. I'm afraid that if I repot I'll disrupt its roots and make it even more unhappy with me...

How far away is far enough away from my other plants? I really don't want these little buggers to spread!

Please help me with my malipoense! This plant is very special to me...

Thanks!
