I had terrible tomato blight and pepper white flies this past season. I grow in containers. I threw away all the soil from all the pots at the end of the season. Do I need to sterilize the pot in any way before I add new soil next season?

Yes. I would use a disinfectant of one part bleach to nine parts water.
You will need to clean the pots with a mild bleach solution and make sure you clean the stakes and anything else you used in the pot. The soil needs to be changed every year if you are going in containers.
