My boyfriend, against my better judgement, foolishly used a scouring wad to remove an adhesive patch on my coffee table. His technique worked, but within the process, he damaged the faux mahogany finish, disappearing an unsightly faded grey patch in impossible to tell apart area. Is near an easy instrument to fix this without stripping, restaining and resealing the entire table?

Once you go and get the color close, a few coats of furniture polish will help hold it near.
Unfortunately, probably not. From your description it sounds like he sand through the top clear coat and into the stain below. You could try one of the staining furniture polishes (Old English is one) and rub the entire table, but I honestly don't think you'd be delighted with the results.
