Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hello,

Good question, but fortunately your sentence 'if two particles are
parted from each other, the potential interaction will be deleted in the
exact collision detection step' is false. The collision detection
(...Collider... classes) does (almost) not care of deleting
interactions. It is up to the Law2 to do this job and decide when to
delete interactions. Then tensile forces can still exist when necessary
!

For the second part of your question, the answer is yes. As you might
understand it now, there is no difference between parted and overlapping
spheres (the sign of normal force excepted), once the interaction
exists.

Jérôme
