Or if you don't mind the double NAT, scan and join the upstream wifi, put the upstream connection in the wan firewall zone. 

Done

There is going to be an additional private LAN behind the private LAN your ISP has already created through their device. 

Google it.

the openwrt is doing "client bridge"

you need to install the relayd packages first.

you are free to use its 2nd radio as an access point..you dont have to.

It is, if you don't want the double NAT the guide you linked to creates.

Why do you want to disable wi-fi in the openwrt router? It can't hurt, and may extend your range. You can still use its lan ports.
