What Dan said. I don't do restoration. I ha e heard spreading
mayonnaise on the white areas, which I guess is the oil in it doing
something. No telling what the finish is, varnish or oil or shellac or
something else. Worse comes, do some stripping then do an oil or
varnish finish (I lay down several very thin coats, varnish + thinner,
with a rolled up cotton rag).

You need to find out what the finish is first. If it's truly varnish, there
are any number of ways to get the milky discoloration out.
For the bottom the Magic Eraser stuff works well on things like this, and if
that doesn't remove it, try WD-40 on a cloth (don't spray it directly on the
wood!) and follow it up with some baking soda rubbed into the wood with a cloth.

I picked up a stunning Danish mid century rosewood coffee table for a good
price but the top is marred in places with a cloudy discoloration, probably
a result of setting down wet objects on the surface (which has a dark
varnished finish). Murphy's oil soap and cleaner didn't do anything for
these spots, but a friend recommended I try vaseline with a vinegar
chaser. Surprisingly, this did some good, but there are still cloudy areas
(also some scratches, but those are near the corner and not
objectionable).
On the under side of the table (unfinished) the PO's kids had a field
day(s) writing with crayons and/or colored ball point pen ink. How do I
remove these?
IIRC someone on this list is experienced in furniture restoration (Rich?).
Advice always appreciated.
TIA,
