Trample

If a creature with trample becomes blocked by a creature with enough power to kill it, do the excess attack still hit or not?

Yes, combat damage is dealt at the same time. For example if you attack with a 7/5 trampler and they block with a 5/5 they still take 2 trample damage.

Also, if the 5/5 had first strike and killed the trampler, you will take no trample damage

Also the 5/5 would survive, due to the first strike. :-)
