Since the transaction already has confirmed, it can't be reversed/replaced/manipulated in any way.
The only way to get your money back is to contact the support and describe your problem. They have to either send you the money back
or to fullfill your order. But it may be the case tha the vendor "choses" to fullfill the order even if you don't want to anymore. Its mostly up to him,
since you agreed to his terms by ordering something. But for the next time ordering i would suggest to use https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
to get a fee which will get the transaction through within a given time period. I'd rather pay 0.50$ more for TX fee than having the hassle of getting my money back.

I sent 0.01587494 bitcoin with a 0.00000494BTC fee to an online market vendor. The transaction took 4 days to confirm by which time the market had cancelled the order. But it is confirmed now. This was over 3 weeks ago now but no bitcoin has come back into my electrum wallet. Do I have to do anything to get it back? Or will it eventually show up? Or is it in the vendors account or escrow? Any help would be really appreciated.

Here's the info from Blockchain if that's of any help.

It's simple, ask the merchant to refund you and if they have any refund policy for such canceled transactions, then they must help you by sending your coins back to you. It was not the merchant's fault either as the fee that you put was "exceptional" enough to get your tx confirmed in seconds.  Lips sealed
Try to pay better fees next time you buy something from an online merchant, so that you may not get "trapped" in the fee web.

The information you shared doesn't seem to match up with the transaction details. You said it took 4 days to confirm when the timestamp shows that it confirmed actually almost immediately after the tx was submitted (the same minute in fact)? Maybe you got the tx mixed up.

Regardless, order confirmed on any site is on the merchants' back end. Bitcoin transactions cannot be canceled, cannot be reversed. They can be replaced... but that won't help you here.

Some vendors accept bitcoin but do a customer credit by mailing a check or crediting a credit card, not by bitcoin. Ask them how you get your money.

Just writing some code
No, it will not return to your wallet unless the merchant sends the Bitcoin back. Having an order being canceled has nothing to do with the Bitcoin network entirely.
