Suppose Harris then replaces him with Clinton or whoever. What would happen to the votes already cast for Harris / walt? Would they automatically go to Harris / Clinton? Or would those ballots be considered essentially wasted? Maybe it's different state by state. Does anyone know?

It would go to the Electoral College. The delegates elected by the Harris voters would simply select any VP they want. Remember, technically we're not electing the President/VP. We're electing people who promise to vote for the candidate we want when the Electoral College convenes.
The scenario would certainly hurt the Harris campaign, but it wouldn't result in a loss of electoral votes.
