What exercises, other than pullups, can help with this?
Lat pull downs, bicep work, rows... a big one that'll help is heavy negative pullups. Use weights for this. Jump up into the top portion of the pullup, maybe use a stool if you need to. Starting from the top, lower yourself slowly (3-5 seconds) Repeat.

And should I be going heavy with less reps or light with more reps on these exercises?
There's no perfect answer as everyone's body responds differently. For me, heavy low reps to get stronger.

Thanks and thanks for the advice. Pullups have always sort of been my "Achilles heel." Even when I was in my twenties and could put up a fair amount of weight on the bench press, I've always been relatively weaker in the back and biceps. It probably didn't help that I tended to avoid pullups since I sucked at them. I'm committed now to try to attack these weaker muscle groups rather than running from them.

Would you recommend the heavy negatives before or after the pull-up routine?
