I have a list in Sharepoint where one can add attachments, like this:
The problem I have is that I don't know where exactly Sharepoint stores these attachments because I didn't have to create a column for attachments.
I want to write a webpart in Vue.js where I can either access these attachments or manually add attachments.
Does anyone know where the attachments of the list are stored?

As far as accessing them via the APIs, they are stored as part of the list item. Physically, they are stored in a SQL table.
List attachments are accessible via the various APIs including REST web service calls.
A few examples:
Get a list of attachments:
http://yourServer/yourSite/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Tasks')/Items/GetById(7)/AttachmentFilesInfo about a single attachment:
http://yourServer/yourSite/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Tasks')/Items/GetById(7)/AttachmentFiles('SomeDocument.docx')You can upload, download and delete files via direct URLs and web services.
