Which has higher priority cell settings or table settings?

The most recent formatting will apply, so neither has priority. Corresponding formatting will replace, so things like colours will be replaced if a new one is specified. If a formatting, such as a number formatting, does not have a new type it will stay the same. So if a cell was formatted to currency and then a table formatting was applied that did not specify any number formatting, that cell would retain its currency formatting while taking on other formats that the table would set. The same would work the other way, in that format applied to a table will not be lost if some other aspect of a cell is formatted.
