If I Instant Fusion Reaper on the Nightmare and later revive it with Call of the Haunted, does it destroy itself?!
Reaper on the Nightmare is Special Summoned by a card that continuously targets it.
Yes. Call of the Haunted continuously targets it, so Reaper destroys itself. A non-targeting revival like Book of Life would avoid that.
Do Reaper on the Nightmare and Spirit Reaper have the same self-destruction rule?!
Both monsters are targeted by effects.
Yes. Both destroy themselves when targeted by a card effect, though their exact timing text differs.

● Your opponent can chain "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" or "Tragoedia" to the ④ effect.
This effect resolves (and the random card is chosen) after the Gorz/Tragoedia is Summoned.
● This must be face-up after the targeting card resolves in order to be destroyed.
(If the targeting card’s activation is negated, this card is not destroyed).
(If the targeting card’s effect is negated, this card is still destroyed).
● This card will be destroyed by its ② effect even if targeted by a continuous effect.
(Such as an Equip Spell Card, or by “Call of the Haunted”).
