If the bricks weren't tied then I'd attempt the whole job myself but with added complication I may just knock them out to the red line and get someone in to cut them flush and build a single column.

This is one of my neighbour's wall. They've dropped there's considerably. I've noticed theres quite a lot of mortar between the two walls (particularly near window ledge), which ideally i'd like to avoid.
