You can do this styling the component in your theme file:

 @mixin newName-theme($dark-theme)

    mat-table tbody tr:hover{
    cursor: pointer;
    background: #b4b4b433;
  }

 @include newName-theme($dark-theme);

Answer 3

in my case .mat-row:hover didn't work, it was highlighting the whole table. this works for me:

  tr.mat-row:hover {
      background-color: yellow;
  }
