Wordpress + nginx infinite redirect loop

Here is the problem:

        if (!-f $request_filename){
        rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?$1& last;
        }

This is one of the most common nginx misconfigurations.

Replace these three lines with try_files:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

See also the WordPress wiki entry on nginx.

(BTW, your .htaccess does nothing, since you are not using Apache.)
