Can this glue to bond wood to melamine?

No. Melamine is non porous. A good rubber cement is a better choice.

Does this glue dry clear or white?

I use it to bond wood, no visible glue line. It’s yellow when it sits out to dry.

Can this be used as an MDF or particle board edge sealer?

I've used this product as a sealer for many things including MDF or particle board and it has always met my needs. I find that keeping within the manufacturers application parameters produces very good results.

Is this good for gluing wood veneer?

Yes. If it has a little grain to it. If not then a light sanding just to reduce slippery Varner coating.
