It burns their thread backward, undoing whatever that person has recently done. Probably only Jordan could have answered (and he may have, but I've never read of it) what level of intelligence the living things must possess to have their actions undone. Rand undoes the actions of Darkhounds, so there's some evidence it works beyond just for people. I would assume you could also balefire a dog who shit on your carpet to suddenly have a clean carpet as well. But could you balefire a mosquito to keep from getting an itchy bump?
My little tangent aside... I re-iterate: non-living things, including inanimate objects and one-power weaves, can not affect time by being balefired.

look at the balefireing of the boat that nynaeve was in, if it only affected the people rowing the boat it would have moved back in the river, but only started to fill with water after the balefire hit. Instead if reverts back in the water, and becomes filled with water as if the boat had a hole in if for the few minutes the balefire removed from the wood making up the boat.
