If you need to leave the table temporarily, you may leave the napkin in your chair as a signal to the waiter that you will be returning. This is also a consideration for the other diners who won't have to look at your soiled napkin on the table!

If others are still eating, place the napkin in your chair. After everyone is finished, it's ok to place on the table.

I would venture to say - on the chair. This should signal that the chair is still occupied. If the napkin, is on the table however, beside the plate, it then means the meal is done.

Place your napkin in your chair to indicate you are planning to return. If you are not comfortable doing that, you may place it beside your plate, but since that is usually a sign that you are finished eating, you should ask the person sitting next to you to prevent the waiter from removing your plate.
