i think the screws are just fastening to the panel there.  I will try a stud finder to see if there is anything more sturdy there.  Has to be some studs there i would think.  And it is possible that something heavy could have been there, would not take that much weight if the screws are only in the panel.

DO NOT store those little pump spray bottles of mosquito repellent in your vehicle door cubbies. If it leaks, and I know they eventually do, it will melt the interior door panels. Don't spray repellent near your open car doors either. AND NEVER apply spray repellent to your neck/head after putting your bicycle helmet on. Helmets don't like it.  Never mind how I learned all this, it wasn't from reading...Nuff said.

Rather than trying to re secure the counter top to the wall (it looks from the pictures that it's actually the backsplash) and risk having the screws keep pulling out, with bigger and bigger screw holes left behind, how about staining and sealing some 1/4 round molding and glue it or screw it - maybe both - to the wall so that it rests on the top of the backsplash or counter top. That way if the wall or the counter top is flexing or moving some, each moves relatively independently of the other but they'd be close enough together to not leave a gap for stuff to fall in.
