Is the word vendedores the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "vendedores" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and the syllables are more clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or nearly silent (the "e" may almost disappear), and the final "s" is pronounced as a "sh" sound ([ʃ]).
