So if i target one of my creeps (say Whirlpool Warrior ) with Nin, the Pain Artist and then sacrifice the creature in response, do i still get to draw the cards for the second part of nin's ability or is that negated by the wording "that creature's controller"?

If all the targets for a targeted spell or ability are illegal when that spell or ability would resolve, then it is countered. If Nin, the Pain Artist 's ability is activated targeting Whirlpool Warrior , then Whirlpool Warrior is sacrificed, Nin's ability will fizzle. It won't deal damage and you won't draw cards.
