I would recommend using the new version of the start process smart service (if you are on 24.4+) node instead of subprocess. You will be able to get the result synchronously and then use that in the next node by assigning results to PVs.

And, I can trigger a process from a process model calling a Web API?

You can call you process model before User form node by using Sub Process and get the data from sub process to this parent process

No. Use the Start Process smart service.

I hace a process that triggers with an incoming email. That tells me that a new document has been downloaded in a particular path in the server. I want to run another process in the "Trigger process" Script Task to take this document, read it and extract the information to carry on with the process and fill the next "User Form" User Input Task. So, is it possible to trigger a process from a Script Task?

No - a!startProcess() must be used in the context of an on-form user interaction.

If you want to trigger a process within a different running process, that's what the subprocess node and Start Process nodes are for. What is your use case?
