No, you can't get back the original EPUB you sent to Amazon, but you can get something useable.

Amazon does not allow the Download & Transfer via USB function of their website for personal documents so there is no easy download mechanism. You can obtain a copy of the book by sending it to an e-ink Kindle device or app and copying it from there.

It won't have DRM but it also won't be an EPUB. It will be in the Kindle format to which Amazon converted it, usually KF8 (azw3). You can use the kindleunpack plugin for calibre to produce an EPUB from that and result will be fairly close to the original EPUB.
