Suppose "va'ai" is the current value. How would that work?

If I say "xu do djica pi va'ai ladru", does that mean "would you like
the current amount of milk?" Would that be the amount she already had,
and I'm asking whether she would like a second amount like it? Or is
it asking whether she is satisfied with what she has had?

Would "za'u va'ai" mean an amount larger than the current one, such
that she would end up having the current amount plus this second,
larger amount on top of it, or would "za'u va'ai" be just any
additional amount on top of the current one (but how would that fit
with the normal meaning of "za'u"?)
