Can an electric force between two point charges be negative?

no, i don't believe so
Yes, and it will depend upon how you define the positive direction and where you are in between the charges. It also depends upon whether the charges have the same or opposite sign.

Please ignore the disruptive comments and uninformed answers of "gothgirl", who will be dealt with appropriately.
