It's always difficult to diagnose stuff like this with just photos, but it does appear to be failing clear coat.

In order to help you diagnose the issue, I would attempt to compound and polish an area to see if there is any improvement. If not, the paint is toast. If yes, it may just be oxidation on the surface, though the likelihood of that happening on top of clear coat is pretty slim.

This is not typically something you see on OEM paint for a vehicle that is not too old, so I would agree that it is possibly the result of a poor repaint job. Again, I cannot say anything for sure without checking the car out in person. I would consult with a trusted body shop and ask to speak directly with a painter to get their feedback on what the issue may be and how it was caused, not just the guy who does the quotes.
