Tip #1 works, but it's not the best way to cut out text because it's destructive.
Leave the text editable, select the text and the circle then go to pathfinder, press and hold the Alt key and click on the Exclude option. Doing it this way allows the text and shape to remain editable.

For the first one there is a much easier way. All you have to do, is put your text onto the background image, expand the text, select the text and background, and use the shape builder tool to delete the text by holding alt
