Does Viper's Venomous Steel discard count as damage against an opponent, and does it trigger passives?

No. The discard is not damage, so it bypasses Defence and the damage limit, and it does not trigger a monster's damage-based passive abilities. Against the Wild Hunt, any discard or damage triggers passives.
