Looks like powdery mildew or spider mites. Check under the leaves for very tiny mites. If nothing there, most likely powdery mildew.

Is the white spotting something that can wipe off the leaves or is it like the leaf itself has discoloration?

you can’t wipe off with your fingers.

Use magnification and look at the bugs under the leaves.

Yeah it's some sort of bug causing that. I have the same problem here. If I have something outside it will be doing just fine but when you bring it inside shit goes sideways.
Since I've learned you can spread to other plants in the house I try to keep things separate. I've had plants bring in aphids, mites, thrips, gnats, ect. I assume once they're inside there's no real competition the bugs multiple out if hand which is what causes the problems for your plants; not a real science, but a theory of sorts.
You look like you're not out of control so if you treat the pests you should be totally fine. Like suggested above take a look under the leaves and be on the lookout for tiny little bugs or specs that move.

Thanks guys. Should I spray the leaves with neem oil or wood vinegar?

I've never used wood vinegar so I don't know the real implications here but at first glance it looked interesting because it's so helpful. Right up till digging deeper lead me to evidence it's also used as a herbicide on weeds. Call me silly but I wouldn't use weed killer on my weed.
Neem oil on the other hand I can say works well.

UPDATE : After using neem oil for a week, it haven't been much of a success. I brought the leaves to my local gardening supplies and they looked at it under the microscope. It was red mites (Eutetranychus africanus) and got some foilar spray to get rid of it.
