You could place the tikzpicture in a savebox and measure its size. This size can then be used for the subfigure.

I think that @samcarter's nice proposal is the way to go. This is only if you need to access the nodes later (with remember picture), in which case saveboxes may be inconvenient. This proposal measures the widths of the tikzpictures and writes them to the aux files such that they get used in the next run. Conceptually it is the same as e.g. this nice answer.
