I would say if I'm not sure what they are appealing, I have to ask. This one I probably would not have asked and just honored the appeal. I've had coaches yell 'I'm making an appeal'. Coach what are you appealing?
I've also had a runner touch the white base before the ball arrived. No physical contact so no interference. Called her safe and the girl stood on the base with the ball. runner returned to 1st. Coach calls time and comes out to appeal she touched the white base. OK coach but she returned before you appealed. My 1st baseman stayed on the base because she was appealing. Sorry coach, she gave me no indication she was making an appeal before the runner returned.
