Answer 1

techniques may vary per program, if you have photo shop or similar check option for text fill or pattern filling objects selected,

Photofiltre has option to insert image pattern to text,

Gimp ~ can also do the same, but you can also place image anywhere in layers , then place cutout text over top,

Inkscape illustrator allows you to import images, then with text in new layer you can place over images and cut out letters,

in paint, you can open image, then open new blank canvas, type text, right click to open text toolbar, choose font and size(limited) type, invert color, copy, then paste over image with both transparency options on,
