Both have a force acting to bring the spring back to its original length. So the 1/2kx2 is just in the reverse direction (not because the x is negative because the acting force is towards x0, the original length).

What has more Elastic Potential Energy a spring apart or together?

A spring has more elastic potential energy when it is compressed (together) rather than when it is stretched (apart). This is because the potential energy of a compressed spring is stored in the spring as potential energy due to compression, whereas in a stretched spring, the potential energy is due to the stretching force applied to it.
