How do you separate isopropanol from a water-ethanol-isopropanol-solution?

One could try dimethyl- or diethyl-ether but it won't give a 'total' separation, only fractional: more isoprpanol than ethanol is extracted. Ether can be evaporated after this, and-or the whole procedure can be repeated.

Does TOP dissolve in isopropanol?
No. TOP does not dissolve in Isopropanol. the TOP flakes fall right to the bottom. and the isopropanol stays clear.
Are propanol and isopropanol isomers?
Propanol and isopropanol are isomers. Isopropanol is the structural isomer of propanol. It has a strong smell and is without any color.

What is preferred in DNA extraction ethanol or isopropanol and why?
Isopropanol is more preferred than ethanol in DNA extraction, as isopropanol facilitates precipitation more better, as it possess very less i.e., 0.6 to 0.7 volumes of alcohol.
What property of the isopropanol is different from the water which allows us to separate them?
Different boiling points ... fractional distillation will separate them, BUT it forms a constant boiling mixture at 87.7% (w/w.) If you want it any purer than that, you will have to introduce a 3rd component to break the azeotrope.
