I’m not a wood worker at all, but my brother in law bought this big ass table for his mother, doesn’t seem to be sealed at all, no idea what the wood is. What is the best way to seal this, Hardwax oil?

There is a sanding sealer on the market that you can get to seal the wood prior to putting a stain and finishing coat on it. Lowes has it but sherwin williams would be more able to help you get the right stuff to do the job with and tell you how to do it. If you want to know more about the finishing process, send me a message and I will help you.
All the youtube woodworkers rave about Rubio Monocoat. I have not tried it yet, but want to try it.
Is it solid wood or veneer?
Would highly recommend a sanding sealer if you plan on using stain.
If you have access to a compressor, use lacquer and spray it with a $10 HVLP from harbor freight. Will give you a much nicer finish than poly

looks like veneer
It’s solid and heavy as hell
This is what research and a few others mentioned who are involved in the wood working industry I know
It looks like maple to me, but not sure.
If it is, I'd sanding seal it, 320gr it, then apply some Varathane.
I've used this in the past with good results.
