Nexus is a type of gear hub made by Shimano, who happily sell their hubs to several different bicycle manufacturers. Hence you can find Nexus hubs on bikes of different brands.

OK, what are are these various brands?

Look, there's no magic in designing a bike to take a Nexus hub, so there are plenty of brands who have used them. Tracking down each end every one of them is a chore that I'm not about to undertake. Not to mention all the happy home tinkerers who've converted whatever frame they fancied to Nexus. A short search throws up Trek, Cannondale, Bianchi, and two local UK brands that have used Nexus.

If you really want to know either do the web trawling yourself, or see if you can charm a Shimano rep enough to tell you which bike companies they sell to.

Do bicycles have worm gears?

No. Bicycles with external gears have chain-and-sprocket gears. Bicycles with internally geared hubs have both a chain-and-sprocket gear and spur gears (usually in a planetary configuration) inside the rear hub. Then there are the rather rare shaft-drive bicycles, which use bevel gears. And maybe an internally geared hub as well. Then there's the occasional belt drive bike of course. And one or two CVT designs.

Do 7 speed bikes have front and rear derailleurs?

No. That is, if you're referring to the newer internally-geared 7-speed hubs from Shimano (Nexus) and SRAM (S7). Both of these have seven internal gear ratios (like the old 3-speeds on steroids) and a coaster brake. They are installed using a single chainring at the cranks and a single rear cog. So no derailleurs needed. BTW, the Nexus (or its sibling the Alfine) hub from Shimano has been made in 4, 7, 8 and 11 ratios.

On vehicles equipped with vacuum actuated hubs, a loss of vacuum will render them inoperable. On vehicles equipped with manual hubs, a broken or worn internal part will cause the same. Other areas to check include fuses, relays, wiring and other 4 wheel drive sensors and switches.
