Using elastic equation I think the box and the block would stich together [Mentor Note -- Sideways, dark image fixed up]

Yes

I am struggling to find correct approximation for the problem. Is momentum conserved at the immediate impact of... (1) Can I ignore gravitational force and potential for the spring which is connected to ground and vertically upholding a mass . ( using equilibrium)

I am an enthusiastic physics student in undergraduate level.

The gravitational potential leads to velocity in downward direction, but spring potential does in upward direction. So should these energies have different signs (plus and minus or vice-versa)?
