Its probably somewhere really obvious in black and white, but I want to confirm that my interpretation of how creatures who already possess counts-as spellcasting advance if they take spellcasting classes.
Nymphs function as 7th level druids for spellcasting. Dragons count as sorcerers for whatever caster level they have.
So if a Nymph advances into druid, does she function as an 8th level druid for spellcasting? Or does she have more first level druid spells (and now first level druid abilities/skills she'd otherwise lack?).
Does a dragon sorcerer get to add on additional spells and castings at a lower level (that don't overlap with his already known low level spells?)
I think mechanically it might work in the 'seperate pools' way, but that seems kind of odd at the same time.
If the creature possesses class features (such as spellcasting or sneak attack) for the class that is being added, these abilities stack. This functions just like adding class levels to a character without racial Hit Dice.
So, yes, they stack and your Nymph-Druid 1 is a level 8 Druid for the purposes of spellcasting, a level 9 druid for the purposes of Wild Empathy and a level 1 druid for other abilities.
