Answer 1

Is the table painted or stained?  You "may" be able to get the marks out with a hair dryer.   It's how we recommend removing steam marks from our custom made furniture.  If that doesn't work, you'll have to strip the table and refinish it.

Answer 2

I recently got this tip from a furniture maker.  Put mayonnaise (the real stuff - not miracle whip) on the water mark.  Let it sit there for a few hours and then remove it with a soft cloth.  I tried it on an antique table and while it didn't remove the water mark completely, it made a huge difference.  Now, the only way to see the mark is to stand at a certain angle (eye level with the table) and really look for it. (and this was a water mark that had been there for weeks).  It can't hurt to try.  Good luck.
