When the enemy is stunned, does my disarm/trip on him automatically succes (because he cant act while stunned) or does both have to make the opposite checks?

You can make opposed checks like that at any time, as long as you are not helpless. Making a resisting grapple check or opposed attack roll/ability check is "not an action", so you can make it while stunned or whenever.

Think of it as REacting to the trip attempt, etc. The stunned character can't initiate any actions but can react to the actions of others. Disarming is probably moot anyway since a stunned character drops everything held.

Forgot about the dropping thing, but you could still disarm a worn item. In fact, while an opponent is stunned, that is when you should be trying all these uncommon attacks that provoke AoOs...
