Unlock the phone, go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud/Backup and it will show the date/time of the last iCloud backup
Connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable, click on its icon in iTunes (or the phone’s entry in the Finder sidebar in Mac OS Big Sur or later) and the timestamp of the last iCloud backup will be listed on the summary.

For 2. if you have previously enabled Wi-Fi syncing to your computer you won’t need to connect the cable.
