I've heard talk of several politicians who want to do this, mostly Republicans, but also that Obama wants to get rid of the Department of Commerce.

Who has the authority to do that? Is it just the President's power, or does Congress have to approve it? Or both?

Also, does Congress have to approve the creation of a new Cabinet Department?

Well, the Department of Defense was created by National Security Act of 1947, so yes.
