its a possibility that goldberry is nimrodel, but in tolkiens works you will never find enough sufficient evidence to definately say that she is or isnt.
Its a possibility tom is a maia or even the remnant of some powerful and forgotten people. Its hard to say and the answer will forever be hidden. I think Tolkien put Tom in as he is on purpose. To give a sense of mystery to bombadil.
and anyways he also put them in to please his children. he modled bombadil after one of their toys
