Ok so if I understand this correctly, you are concerned about the merge field values that might contain ' right? if yes, you should be using JSENCODE as shown below when using merge fields:

"{!JSENCODE(mergeField)}";
e.g.
 "{!JSENCODE(Object__c.Field)}";

You should be using JSENCODE to avoid any special characters in the merge field values:

JSENCODE
Encodes text and merge field values for use in JavaScript by inserting escape characters, such as a backslash (\), before unsafe JavaScript characters, such as the apostrophe (').

usage :{!JSENCODE(text)} and replace  text with the merge field or text string that contains the unsafe JavaScript characters.

var corderemail='{!Account.Order_confirmation_email__c}';
var worderemail=''
var custEmail='';
var wholesaleEmail='';
var billtoPartyVal='';
var billtoPartyId='';
if(records[0])
{
worderemail=result.records.Order_confirmation_email__c;
}
if(billtoparty.length!=0)
{
billtoPartyVal='{!Account.Default_Bill_to_party__c}';
billtoPartyId='{!Account.Default_Bill_to_partyId__c}';
}
else
{
billtoPartyVal='{!Account.Name}';
billtoPartyId='{!Account.Id}';
}
