This is something I was looking for.

We have discourse installed on a virtual server (with docker, of course).

I have a simple worpress installation in other server (with other subdomain), but I would like to move it to the discourse server.

I would like to install a docker container with WordPress and nginx.

But I am not sure how to do it after reading al posts mentioned here.

Here you solve it installing nginx outside docker and configuring a site for WordPress and another one for discourse, and passing discourse requests uting a pipe.  
If I have understood it well that is what @Cameron_D says.

wont’t it be slower to use a pipe from to communicate nginx with the discourse install?

But you have to tweak discourse config.

Is there the option of using docker to install another WordPress+nginx container, similar to the discourse installation?

I suppose that the isolation level that docker provides would be good for not having security issues.
