is the equation for max acceleration: a max = -[(w)^2]x

in this case, because it's a mod: a max = |-[(w)^2]x|

??
acceleration = −ω2x - \omega^2 x
amax a_{max} . = −ω2A - \omega^2 A

so yea, if you need the mod of max accel, it'd be ∣−ω2A∣ |- \omega^2 A|

what's the difference between A and x in the 2 equations?

A is the maximum displacement i.e. the amplitude.
