We had an auction at the club last night that started with my partner opening 1♠ and then my RHO made an insufficient bid of 1♥. If I were to have accepted his insufficient bid and then bid 1♠ who would be declarer, me or my partner?

Your partner - the one who bid the suit in first place.
I usually open with 13 cards

Your partner, he bid them first. The only thing that has happened is that you accepted 1♥ as a legal bid. You can't change the auction to pass 1♥ 1♠, so your partner's 1♠ will remain there, and he will be declarer in a spade contract.
