It is a sign of relief, like if you almost had an accident but narrowly escaped, you might say "Whew, that was a close call"

It doesn't stand for anything, but it is meant to represent a sigh, especially a sigh of relief when some danger passes or relief when some hard work is over.

2 things, depending on the context. It could mean, "Whew, that was close" as in "wow" or "golly" or "gee". Or it could mean, "Whew, that stinks!" as in something you smell.
