How do I get rid of the excess picture outside of the circle? When I use the eraser tool, once I release the left mouse button the picture comes back.

1Is this a vector or is this a raster image? – Ryan Jul 13 '16 at 2:36

The Eraser tool doesn't work like that. The best option is probably to use your circle as a clipping path.
- Select your circle and Copy (cmd+C).
- Select the background and Paste in Front (cmd+F).
- With the duplicate circle and the background image selected, hit cmd+7 (or go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make)
- Use Select circle tool (M) to select the circle
- (Ctrl + J) to copy the selected circle onto the new layer
- Use Round shape tool (U) to draw a grey circle under your image. The grey color is the color of the border of the circle
- Select all canvas with (Ctrl + A)
- (Ctrl + Shift + C) to copy all visible pixels
- (Ctrl + N) to create a new document
- (Ctrl + V) to paste the copied picture
- Save it or use anywhere you need
