Milk, smell test.

Eggs probably are fine as long as they didn't sweat (build up condensation). Bacteria from outside can move through the shell if they sweat, other than that they should be good. Most people in other countries don't even refrigerate eggs. Just leave them on the counter.

Only yard bird eggs. I wouldn't leave any store bought egg out longer than the time it takes to get from store to house.

theres a huge difference in other countries. Eggs can be left out on the counter as long as they arent washed. There is a coating called the bloom that essentially protects and seals the egg shell. Once it is washed it MUST be refrigerated. And of course in the US, we chemically wash all the eggs you buy in a store.
