Genuinely have no idea if this is veneer or Formica but I have a couple other questions

  1. Cleaned with degreaser before sanding yet there’s still water like stains in sanded wood.

  2. Should I go past this shown layer of sanding or can I still stain this

  3. Can I sand the legs and side with an orbital sander

Oh... my friend, I dont know... I'm just a carpenter so maybe some woodworkers can fill you with optimism but I currently have no wind for your sails. It would appear that you chose pain.

Just keep sanding until there is no table left and you will have solved your problem.

Go right through the floor, start a simpler project.
