Hi Chee,

The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your non playing hand.  So any other part of your body can touch the table as long as you don't move the surface of the table.

Whose point is it if I serve the ball with backspin so it bounces back into the net? We explain the rule in this video.

Yes you can... but it would be difficult to do without moving the surface of the table.
