1) In electronics, "mesa" is only used in relation to a type of transistor that was developed in 1955 and is now obsolete, as far as I can tell.

It could go in an entry for 台面式晶体管 perhaps, but there aren't many G hits for that term, and there seem to be none at all for the trad version of it.
-------------------

2) "on the table" and "in public" are adverbs. 台面 is a *noun* (公開、正式的場合).
政治性的議題也浮上台面,
許多原本被忽視的歷史紛紛浮出檯面。

一九九七年電影界「借牌靠行」的紛爭正式上了檯面。
In 1997 the film industry's practice of borrowing licenses came under scrutiny
------------------------

3) ante ~ "The stake that each poker player must put into the pool before receiving a hand or before receiving new cards."
According to dictionaries (e.g. LA, K) 台面 is the total stakes on the table, not the stake an individual player puts in.
