Is it possible to dock forms on the JadeDockContainer or the JadeDockBar?

I don't think it is. You can make a JadeDockBar control that looks like a form (i.e. it is layed up like a form) and when the parent form is shown it is invisible. Then when you want to show the dockable form to make it visible and programatically undock it. This can then be docked and undocked by the user at will. This docking form will be intrinsically bound to the parent form onto which it docks though.

There is a jade presentation viewer module you can download and view (like a conference talk) in which the one of the topics is jade dock containers. You will need to download the Jade Presentation viewer then the module but its worth it. Although from memory you need to log into www.jadesalesassistant.com to get it. Search for downloads and voila, it gives you all the videos etc to download and use.

From memory you can dock anything inside a frame, if you can frame a form, then you're set.
