How does 1,4-dibromo-2-nitrobenzene react with piperidine, and what molecule does it create?

No reaction.

If the conditions are forced, you may bet on nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SnAr) but not anything else… the nitro group is good as it’s electron withdrawing or deactivating and that’s necessary if this is going to allow a nucleophile to attack benzene (the more common reaction has benzene as nucleophile).
