I did not know that Nieto who I have never heard about made up the phrase 'who made the wind to blow and the rain to fall' which we include now in our Amidah.

No he didn't; he was quoting from the siddur!

When was it officially included in our Amidah?

It's referred to (though not quoted) in the Mishna, so at least 1800 years ago, possibly longer ago.

I don't quiet understand how Nieto from Marroco ended up in an Ashkenazi Shul.

He didn't; I didn't say he did.
