I'm confused with unknown for me verb form, which I faced on two sentences in
a row. It looks like Verb (nai form) + れ or passive voice without ます/る.  
The examples with the full context:

> 雲は **流され** 慌てふためき  
>  風が **招かれ** 吹き荒れる

Can someone explain me what form is this, when does it used and what is the
meaning of it? I tried to google this, but found nothing Т_т  
Moreover, why there are different particles (は/が) on those two cases?

Verb (nai form) + れ or passive voice without ます/る?
The verb is 流す（ながす）and there are two forms of the verb happening here.

  1. It's using a passive form: 流される。
  2. Often times in written language, it's using stem form: 流され in place of the spoken form, would be the same as 流されて、

The second verb is 招く（まねく）and if you've learned the other forms described
above, you can figure out the rest.

As for は/が, those can be quite difficult and I would suggest reading more of
the explanation of those differences online. (TLDR: my explanation would be
long and probably not that great)

As for は/が, it's similar to difference of nuance between that/this.

If there's not particular requirement, the sentence would be enough with "(If
something happens, then) 雲 **が** 流され慌てふためき 風 **が** 招かれ吹き荒れる" because they are
new information.

Now, using は for 雲 is like scooping it out from the rest of the sentence and
it can give a rhetorical effect of conveying a sense of distance, which is
kind of like use of "that" opposed to "this".
