#1: Why doesn't the weight of air above a table cruch it?

You must be referring to atmospheric pressure, which is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of the air above that surface. Since the pressure underneath the table is roughly the same as the pressure on top, there is no net pressure (and thus, force) on top of the table.

Because the weight of the air under the table supports it.
Seriously, air is a free-flowing fluid that really doesn't add any weight to objects.
