Answer 1

Set the size of your container and float your text using absolute positioning while transforming your text with rotate.

#watermark {
  height: 450px;
  width: 600px;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
}
#watermark img {
  max-width: 100%;
}
#watermark p {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 18px;
  pointer-events: none;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
}

Note: For repeating text, I would suggest using either JavaScript or jQuery.
