It's so hard to tell what's going on unless you can be right there to see it. Puppies do tend to drive older dogs to distraction--they don't know when to stop. But whether this is normal play or not, I can't tell.
Is there a behaviorist in your area who will come out to the house and do an evaluation of your pup's behavior? That might be your best bet to get some solid advice on how to deal with the situation.
Right now I think I'd keep Puppy on the leash, either dragging the leash in the house, or tethered to you if you can wing it. That way, you can correct him when he gets too uppity. The risk is having your EB get to the point that she can't stand the sight of him. If this is normal puppy behavior, eventually he'll grow out of the usual hi-jinx phase and settle down, but if, by then, she hates him, they still won't get along...
When puppy crashes, do they lie down companionably together?
